The internationally recognised musical legend Hugh Masekela passed away on Tuesday. The news shocked the world but the family is now hosting a party to celebrate his life. At a media briefing his son Sal Masekela said, “This is going to be a music celebration of his life, featuring different artists that collaborated with and other artists. We are basically going to have an incredible party on Sunday. And if you don’t come ready to dance and sing then you probably shouldn’t attend. This will take place on Sunday the 28th of January at the UJ Soweto Campus.”
Sal also says his family is overwhelmed by the love and passion they have received from all over the globe after the passing of Bra Hugh.
Even though Bra Hugh was an international icon and a national treasure, his family intend on having a private funeral service.
