Hugh Masekela Ticket Giveaway!

South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela is, without a doubt, an international treasure. Hugh was present from nearly the beginnings of South African Jazz, playing in the orchestra of the fabled "King Kong" musical, joining forces with the now-legendary Dollar Brand and Kippie Moeketsi  in the groundbreaking <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxtyJtl2Tuo">Jazz Epistles</a>, and finally gaining international stardom with his 1968 smash <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKcGCObEb28">"Grazing in the Grass." </a> This Saturday, we are excited to welcome the man himself back to New York City for a concert at Pace University's Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts. AND? AND? Afropop has a pair of free tickets that it is giving away to one lucky person. Just send an email with the subject line "Hugh" and your name in the body to info@afropop.org. (The tickets will be available at the box office for pick up).
