Stimela - Hugh Masekela

[@gerry2294]

This song really has only 2 chords. The rest are "passing chords". When you can do so much with just 2 chords... you're on another level. Respect!

[@IronJazz99]

My eight year old grandson heard this while riding in my car. I heard a little voice say,"Grandpa!That's the best Jazz song I have ever heard!" Hugh's music and politics have passed to the next generation. :-)

[@sbusisomagongo7332]

For those of you who have never screamed in their lives, even in bed.

[@nokuzolamctywa7281]

Oh wow, that is amazing 🇿🇦🎤🇿🇦❤🎹

The best. This is a classic that will live forever. Bra Hugh is a legend.

[@msiziblessingmbonambi1522]

This is the best stimela of them all hands down!!🙌.

[@diannelangston9421]

I was fortunate enough to be able to see this performance live at University of California at Davis this past summer.

[@unguja64]

Always loved this version of Stimela - He leaves no stone unturned in this intro. Such a powerful storyteller. ----------Rest in Power, Comrade and Brother Hugh Masekela

[@LeskeyC001]

True. Hugh was such a performer and entertainer. Story teller indeed. His rapport with the audience was really something. He could be so intense and playful at the same time. The strange thing about him was how he never got old. He was still his quirky, hip self into his 70s. RIP Bra Hugh.

[@jacobzaranyika9334]

Stimela...train still running in 2022.

[@davidmckay9552]

This song breaks my heart every time I hear it , and I thank God it does.

[@obadiasegwape3277]

MY COUNTRYMEN RIP BRA HUGH YOU SPOKE NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH

[@AnythinRural]

Rain is spiritual meaningful in Africa it's not a coincident it started raining at end of this song. It is a response from our Angels, they received the prayes.

[@B0bbyTarantino]

Hugh was a legend and still is😭♥️

[@MarylouOfKnysna]

Rest in music, bra Hugh. we thank you for your contribution to the SA music scene, may your legacy live on forever

He expressed our pain through music while at the same time calling out the parasites of this world. Rest in power. I will continue to enjoy your music and message as I kneel ✊🏾

[@aregaali8371]

Yes, he did! He spoke for the downtrodden and against the corrupt leaders. Just imagine if most high profile athletes and music stars spoke up against oppression.

[@abamiedo1]

I've heard this song hundreds of times and it never fells to stir my soul. My ears don't know the words he speaks, but my soul sings with him flawlessly every time. My mind's eye sees the train chugging along the tracks down the mine shaft to the diamond that will make everyone except the person who discovered it rich. Stimela

[@ThandazaMK]

Oh Nkos' yam😭.

[@percymaseko9177]

Rest in peace Mr Masekela thank you for the music

[@Kiltoonie]

An outstanding live performance video: I have heard this song so many times on vinyl, live and on CD, and this has the best production quality. Thanks: and RIP Hugh Masekela.

[@NYUSWA]

Even today bra Hugh you are still a hero to Me

[@lizefuma6111]

His music will forever be cherished by those who find meaning to its divining chords and educational lyrics to personal freedom

[@rasoolvilakazi8863]

May God rest him in peace. Captured that piece of painful history magnificently indeed

[@khanyaputini2732]

A South African Gem! One of the All-time Greats! Thank you Sir!

[@fernly2]

TY for your work in magnifying harmony in the process of creation. It is through This Truth and Beauty we are lead to liberty. Please watch the presidential candidate Dr. shiva. I’m hoping we can hear a debate with the candidates even if a volunteer has to be found to mouth their words for them. With a little bit of luck we will have an election ‘24 let us humbly pray for strength to carry us forward to economic justice for all.

[@tsaoneamanze3615]

My his soul rest in peace we will always remember him

[@andwhat54]

Wow! It took me 46 years to get over "Grazing in the Grass" and listen to something else by the jazz maestro. I really enjoyed this coming from a trumpeter and a poet. Thank you for sharing.

[@terrythekittie]

Me too, always loved GITG but never knew what else he had done in the interim until a year ago, downloading a few tracks, Ade, Mama etc., and buying my first HM cd in the meantime, why doesn't the world know this man?

[@yes_cassi]

I see Africa brought some blessings with the rain there

[@halalisanidanisa4720]

this is evergreen, even fifth generation will enjoy this great song.

[@bernardogomez3737]

very moving, gifted as few, inspiring, surpreme performance, this version is amazing, a Master work. I congatulate myself for being able to listen Masekela.

[@adecirket7524]

I saw Hugh live, I saw Bob Marley live and I have seen Toots live, I would have walked to see Hugh a privilege. Why does not everyone listen to him? To me he is in the same level as Steve Wonder.

[@xandexanderj]

Uma Obra de arte , um abraço meu irmão, cante com os anjos , espalhe energia , essa energia contagiante, não o conhecia e sua energia me reacendeu , um abraço do Brasil, a masterpiece.

ACTIVIST AND ENVIRONMENTALIST HUGH MASEKELA YOU'RE ARE BEAUTIFUL

[@EEMukanya]

Thank you for the music Bra Hugh. RIP.

[@embe1]

A supreme artiste. Just supreme. And his band also is as tight as the fist of ebenezer scrooge. He has a habit of giving free concerts and I once saw him live. He is a really gifted performer, storyteller and artist-the kind of person who if they performed for five hours it would be too short.

[@CineVibe]

a very inspiring character

[@lindawangui7886]

I love your art Baba, I love you.

[@csd8204]

This is the only live version of this song I like. First heard the album in Japan back in 1984. Bought if off the cover, without hearing a single song. Beautiful music, lyrics and that iconic voice of his. His incredible trumpet playing and breath control was fantastic. Do yourself a favor and give Waiting for the Rain a listen.

[@byronmarais]

Bra just being too cool on this one. Classic!

Rest in peace Bra Hugh.

[@Keithlfpieterse]

Voor mij als Zwarte Zuidafrikaan is "Stimela" te vergelijken met "De Internationale." Tegelijkertijd bevat het elementen die in "De [tijdloze] Schreeuw" van Edvard Munch.But above all it is a story of life under Apartheid! Thanks for the upload.

[@mobomahali6437]

Good One Bra Hugh.....You will be remembered.....RIP
