“helloooo maaadddiiisssoooonnnn!!!”
The Union Theater hosts awesome stuff on a regular basis. and I mean that… truly awesome stuff. But every so often, we host a group that truly carries an air of greatness. Hugh Masekela and the Chissa All-Stars fit that exactly. The moment Masekela walked on stage, you could feel the reverence the crowd had for him, and for his music. His music told stories. The audience heard tales of Darfur, of exploited oil workers, of hiv/aids, of apartheid … but always with a strain of hope attached to his melodies - he performed with a smile. For one who’s continent has been plagued time and time again with all the shit (pardon the word) the world can throw at it, to have such hope and jubuillation come through in their music is really nothing short of amazing. I’m quite certain I’ll be walking around singing “bring him back home” for some time to come.
