He has covered the globe and played with just about every top star you can think of.

This concert, at the age of 14, God blessed me to hear music from Africa for the very first time.

Me too. Although I was a lot younger.....wasn't even a teenager. They had shown it on television, think it was BETonJazz in the early 2000s. It sparked a lifelong obsession with African music.

Cream of the crop of SA and African musicianship in this performance: Ferdie from Sierra Leone and Okyerema Asante on percussion, Isaac Machale on drums, Ray Phiri from Stimela on Lead guitar and the legendary Bakithi Khumalo on bass. If you want an introduction to African popular music, you will not get better than this

This song reminds me of my beloved uncle who worked in Johannesburg for Anglo American, but lived in Meadowlands Soweto as a back yard dweller. He told us about the horror, the humour and sometimes sobering reality stories of travelling by train.

I got the DVD when it came out in the 90s and this powerhouse performance has stayed with me ever since. What a genius Hugh Masekela was, how he conveys the plight of these poor miners and the train that carried them with every means of expression available and what a support from a band of crack musicians who can turn on a dime, always in total control. Chilling and timeless

This performance is so special. I agree with another comment here. It should always be available to the world. The generations of miners shipped and subjected to the mines of South Africa and it's surrounding camps is a story as deep and rich as the slave stories of the Americas. This performance, and it's train sounds captures some of that deepness.
