Thuma Mina (Send Me) | The People’s Version - The Masekela All-Stars

Feat. Abigail Kubeka, Vusi Mahlasela, Thandiswa Mazwai, Zolani Mahola, J'Something and Selema Writes. Get the track: africori.to/thumamina
The people of South Africa are facing tremendous challenges in the wake of COVID-19, including severe poverty, a compromised economy, lack of access to healthcare and education, corruption and gender-based violence. Together, with a little help from some friends, Constitution Hill in partnership with the Hugh Masekela Heritage Foundation, have joined forces to produce a collaborative re-working - A People's Version - of the late, great Masekela’s anthemic Thuma Mina. This People’s Version strives to mobilise the citizens of South Africa into action, in support and empowerment of one another.

[@jeanbwasa6416]

I am so humbled to have been part of this journey reminiscent of a Giant Musician... I am humbled because amid the current anti-African sentiment in South Africa (which I understand for some of the woes some people do undermining the principles that govern a country). Indeed, I am humbled because he ALONE would have told us his story, his experience living in the DR Congo then Zaire. He was like many granted CITIZENSHIP... Was he alone, no Malume Hugh was there, in Mobutu's Zaire (hate him, love him, despise him) shared that experience with Mama Africa - Myriam Makeba before she heading to Guinea of Sekou Toure. Africa is one let's send people to bring peace onto our continent...Mama Africa is suffering of neo-liberalism/capitalism and abject imperialism that have engulfed African leaders that fail to ascribe to Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe's "True leadership requires self subjugation of oneself" Jean Bwasa - a true son of Africa who overcome all the odds.
