I had the pleasure of watching Hugh Masekela's live performance at Hamer Hall, the Arts Centre in Melbourne last night. Hugh did not disappoint, but I only wish the audience stood up and danced a bit more! Perhaps it was the venue, but nonetheless it was a moment so rewarding, to see this musical genius and legend grace our city. Despite his age, which I believe is 70 somthing, he moves like a 20 year old, full of energy. He is a joy to watch and I feel more fulfilled that I had an opportunity to see him perform live. His music is moving and so very poignant but also so charged with rhythem that you can't help but move along. I may not get a chance to see him again and was glad I went along. Not only is he a brilliant performer, but also a true gentleman. After a long performance, he took the time and stood and greeted each and every one of his fans who lined up to meet him for photo and autograph. A true legend! Thank you Hugh Masekela.
