A host of celebrated South African musicians, affectionately dubbed The Maseskela All-Stars, collaborated on this noble vision of social cohesion and people’s empowerment. Vocalists include the legendary Abigail Kubeka, and Vusi Mahlasela, with a younger generation represented by Thandiswa Mazwai, Zolani Mahola and J’Something. Hugh Masekela’s nephew, Selema Writes, adds a fresh and fitting rap – a call to South Africans to end gender-based violence.

Graced with the talents of Bra Hugh’s last touring band, Johan Mthethwa, Fana Zulu, Cameron Ward, Godfrey Mgcina, and Leeroy Sauls, a horn section from the Marcus Wyatt-led Bombshelter Beast, arranged-winning South African producer JB Arthur, Thuma Mina – the People’s Version, brings a vibrant, upbeat, can-do twist to Bra Hugh’s original. It’s a burst of Hugh-inspired energy around which to organise, support and empower each other – South Africans facing forward with indomitable spirit and innovation.
