It always hurts to hear her say that Hugh wrote the song for her, though Mama Africa was the godmother of my oldest daughter...

Still today I receive royalties for the song and to make it clear it was written by Hugh Masekela and my late husband Stanley Kwesi Todd

Noted with thanks, it's a beautiful song...

This song reminded me of some bad memories of what I witnessed happening to some the children when I lived in Liberia just before the war. But it is beautifully and it is important like Mama Afrika says "forgive but never forget". Bless you Mr. Sehume for uploading this. Is there an uninterrupted version (without the narrative) of this performance or similar anywhere?? Thanks.

[Tebogo Sehume]

Thank you so much....The documentary was flighted with the narrative i'm afraid.

[Tebogo Sehume]

The documentary was shown on SABC Africa,

RIP Mama Africa! We have such a heavy history but we must Never forget. If you forget you make the same mistakes.

Beautiful music! I love Hugh Masekela.

[Nathan Pretlow]

Want to know where the Blues really comes from Africa.

Amazing how the world sanctioned South Africa when NO sanctions have been brought against Israel for killing over 3,000 Palestinian children under 15 for throwing stones at tanks!

"Going Back to New Orleans" is my favorite piece by Hugh Masekela. Could somebody please post it.
