Hugh Masekela - The Chisa Years 1965-1975 (Rare And Unreleased) album flac

The Chisa Years: 1965–1975 (Rare and Unreleased) is a compilation album by South African jazz trumpeter Hugh Masekela. The album consists of 14 rare or forgotten tracks recorded by Stewart Levine and Hugh Masekela from 1965 to 1975 when they ran their own Chisa Records label. Its appeal is wide and deep and one can only hope this is the first of many volumes of this material to appear

Complete your Hugh Masekela collection. Oddly enough, this was another Masekela track that did not see the light of day until a 2006 compilation that opened the Chisa records vault. This funky blues takes as its model the Afrobeat music Fela was then bringing to life in Lagos, and its conceit of a traveling unified sound (the lyrics name-check numerous western and southern African countries) from the Nigerian bandleader's notions on Pan-Africanism, all delivered with swirling guitars and a brass drive a steady groove.

LP (12" album, 33 rpm), Import. Hugh Masekela Format: Vinyl. Not only is a lot of the original music itself hard to come by but this is a collection of Chisa label rarities and unreleased material. Now being what seems like a various artist compilation this album isn't as much that as it is different songs featuring a collective lineup of singers and musicians such as Hugh himself,O. CHISA was Hugh Masekela's label, both creatively and as a business venture. In partnership with producer Stewart Levine, the label made its name by releasing more than a dozen albums of Masekela's own work and another dozen or so records from The Jazz Crusaders.

Hugh Masekela and Stewart Levine met in 1961 at the Manhattan School of Music. They became friends, roommates, and collaborators. They began experimenting with putting together groups of African singers, studio musicians, and a fusion of South African township jive and urban gospel. The two started the CHISA label together in 1966 just before the pair scored big with Masekela's smash, "Grazin' in the Grass. After the success of that track, they put more money into their label, and scored a distribution deal with Motown
