Born and raised in the oppression of South African apartheid, by the mid-1950s, Hugh Masekela became one of the most in-demand young musicians in all of South Africa, working with pianist Abdullah Ibrahim and his own future musical partner and spouse, singer Miriam Makeba. Wielding his trumpet like a weapon, he soon developed into a raw and powerful player, inspired by African-American artists like Miles Davis and Paul Robeson.
