Hugh Masekela

Posted by: Clive B on 06 November 2000

At the Bristol Show Feb 2000 in the demo on the 9th floor (with the DBL's) Mark played a stunning track from the album "Hope" by Hugh Masekela. Can anyone remind me of the title of that track please? There are reasons...
Thanks and regards, CB

2. Uptownship
3. Mandela (Bring Him Back Home!)
4. Grazin' in the Grass
5. Lady
6. Until When
7. Languta
8. Nomali
9. Marketplace
10. Ntyilo Ntyilo (The Love Bird)

Thanks Thomas,
I guess you are right. What I recall was some simple but thundering drumming at the start of the track which was played most well with the NAP500 and DBL's. And I have the chance to get a copy of the Greatest Hits at a bargain price. So, since that does have that track on I guess I'll now go for it.
Thanks,
CB
