altså for en uke siden, sto en gammel helt på scenen på Rådhusplassen under Melafestivalen, Hugh Masekela fra Sør-Afrika. Vet du ikke hvem han er? Se her hva Wikipedia skriver (ja, les gjerne alt). Han var den første musiker jeg hørte om (bortsett fra Miriam Makeba, kanskje) fra det landet. Han måtte gå i asyl i 1960 etter Sharpville massakren og betydde mye for motstandskampen mot apartheid. Og for akkurat en uke siden spilte han og bandet hans gratis for mange tusen mennesker den nydelige sommerkvelden. En stor opplevelse!
a week ago today, a good old hero was on the bandstand ar Town Hall Square during the Mela Festival, Hugh Masekela from South Africa. You do not know him? Look at this from Wikipedia. He was in fact the first (except Miriam Makeba, maybe) I heard of from that country. He had to seek asylum abroad in 1960 after the Sharpeville massacre, and meant much for the fight against apartheid. And for exactly one week ago he and his band played a great concert for free for thousands of people the lovely summer night. A great experience!
