On Saturday, June 5th, 2004 at 9PM, the Inter-Media Art
Center (also known as “IMAC”) in Huntington,
Long Island will present a concert with jazz trumpet legend
HUGH MASEKELA.
Hugh Masekela is the father of African
jazz and is South Africa's musical ambassador to the world.
His trumpet has been an instrument of resistance, a call
to freedom and a celebration of the resilience of his people.
His powerful blend of jazz, funk and afro-beat has mourned
the tragedy of apartheid and rejoiced at its demise.
Hugh Masekela is a worldwide superstar
and has released over 30 albums. He is a globally renowned
trumpeter, who has performed with artists ranging from Louis
Armstrong to Paul Simon, Adrian Belew and The Byrds. Hugh
was instrumental in the conception of the Broadway smash
musical "Sarafina."
Masekela’s fans will be happy to hear, Time, Hugh's
first new material in three years. Time is a magnificent
and delightful journey for jazz fans... a wonderful album
combing African, Latin and South American rhythms. Eleven
stellar new tracks focusing on love, peace and relationships
are all highlighted by Hugh's beautifully gritty voice and
his unbelievable trumpet.
Tickets for this performance are $37.50
($28.50 for IMAC Members). For tickets or further information
