Hugh Masekela The Late [Living] Jazz Legend Performs Stimela

There is a train that comes from Namibia and Malawi
There is a train that comes from Zambia and Zimbabwe
There is a train that comes from Angola and Mozambique
From Lesotho, from Botswana, from Swaziland
From all the hinterlands of Southern and Central Africa.
This train carries young and old men who are conscripted to come and work on contract
In the Gold and Mineral mines of Johannesburg and the surrounding provinces and Metropolis
16 hours or more a day, for almost no pay.
Deeeeeeep, deeeeeep deeeeep, deeeeeep, deeeeeep, deeeep
Deeeep,deeep, deep, down in the belly of the earth
When they’re digging and drilling for that shiny mighty evasive stone.
Or when they dish their mish-mash-mush food
Into their iron plates
With their iron shovel.
Or when they sit in their stinky, filthy, funky, flee-ridden barracks and hostels
And they think about their loved ones they may never see again,
Because they might have been forcibly removed from where they last left them
Or winterly murdered in the herd of night
By raving and marauding gangs of no particular origin - so we are told!
They think about their land and their herds that were taken away from them,
With the gun and the canon,
With the collaborator and the dog
And the teargas and the poison.
With the Bomb and the gasoline,
And when they hear that chu-chu train -
Smoking and-a-pushing and-a-climbing
And-a-hustling and-a-crying and-a-moaning
And-a-toting and and-a-steaming and-a-crying
And-a-moaning and-a-pushing and-a-grumbling
And-a-moaning and-a-climbing and-a-crying
And-a-screaming and-a-squishing
And-ah-whooooooooo
Whoooooooooo!
They always cuss, and they curse the coal train,
The coal train that brought them to Johannesburg.
Stimela.
Ahhh
Long-live Bra Hugh Long-live.

Hugh Masekela was a South African trumpeter singer and composer who was described as "the father of South African jazz". Masekela was known for his jazz compositions and for writing well-known anti-apartheid songs such as "Soweto Blues" and "Bring Him Back Home".Hugh Masekela story is a long and exciting one: the two times Grammy awarded artist is Africa´s most important jazz and world musician. He has covered the globe and played with just about every top star you can think of. Hugh Masekela wrote a number of international hits and sold several million This performance should always be available to the world.Hugh Masekela was a power-house - his vocals and energy here are on a whole other level. I saw him live and it was the best concert I've ever seen.Thank you, Mr. Masekela A LEGEND.💞💞

[@dehdehblacks2086]

This is the first time hearing this song, "Stimela" by Hugh Masekela. The first time I heard Hugh Masekela, was in Jamaica in the 1960's with "Grazing in the Grass" which was a huge hit in Jamaica. I'm glad I listened tonight, at 12:52am, Wednesday, November 17, 2021.
