Hugh Masekela
Live in concert, probably in New York City: c. 1969?

c. The Band Began To Play - 19:04
Note: (1) Although the back sleeve of Upfront UPF-195 indicates "these recordings have been previously issued," this seems highly unlikely. The above titles come from a 1977 LP release which represents a less than audibly perfect live recording that sounds to have been captured around 1969, given the material, personnel and instrumentation. (2) "Bache Bula Banka" seems to be a suite that includes an unidentified and unknown title following the "Bajabula Bonke" section and "The Band Began To Play," which Masekela sings as "the band begins to play," seems to be preceded by an unrelated theme that is also unidentified and unknown.
Issues: a-c on Upfront UPF-195 (issued 1977).

Note: (a) Aside from quite a few misspellings listed on the sleeve of Shanachie 5070 [CD] - which is the source for the detail listed above - it's possible that some instruments are credited incorrectly as well. For instance, steel drums are credited to "Nomalizo," where not audible, but not credited to "Tamati So So," "Lizzy" or "Been Such A Long Time Gone" where the instrument can be heard (although the sound could easily have been produced by synthesizer). (b) A music video for "Thanayi" is included on Heita! (SA) CDHEITA036 [CD] titled THE COLLECTION.
