2018.04.01 Hugh Masekela 音乐家

Another chance to listen to the world famous musician speaking to Sue Lawley in 2004. As a boy growing up in the impoverished townships of South Africa, he was inspired to learn the trumpet after seeing Kirk Douglas play Bix Beiderbecke in Young Man With A Horn. He begged one of his teachers - the anti-apartheid crusader Father Trevor Huddleston - to buy him a horn and in return he promised to stay out of trouble.

Hugh soon made a name for himself in South Africa but as the racial tensions intensified during the 50s he decided he had to leave his homeland to get a better music education in America. There he quickly made a name for himself with his fusion of African jazz music and became a 'flower child' playing with some of the great bands of the decade: Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix and the Byrds. He's still probably best known for his number-one track, Grazing in the Grass, which sold four million copies worldwide in 1968. He returned to Africa in 1973, spending the next 17 years working on a range of musical collaborations in Botswana, Liberia, Nigeria, Congo and Guinea. Then, after thirty years in self-imposed exile, he returned to his homeland in 1990.

又有机会听一听这位世界著名音乐家2004年对苏-劳利的讲话。作为一个在南非贫困乡镇长大的男孩，他在看到柯克-道格拉斯（Kirk Douglas）在《有号角的年轻人》（Young Man With A Horn）中扮演比克斯-贝德贝克（Bix Beiderbecke）后，受到启发而学习小号。他恳求他的一位老师--反种族隔离的十字军神父特雷弗-赫德勒斯顿--给他买一个喇叭，作为回报，他保证不惹麻烦。

休很快就在南非声名鹊起，但随着50年代种族紧张局势的加剧，他决定必须离开祖国，到美国去接受更好的音乐教育。在那里，他以融合非洲爵士乐而迅速成名，并成为一个 "花季少年"，与当时一些伟大的乐队一起演奏。鲍勃-马利、吉米-亨德里克斯和伯兹乐队。他最出名的可能还是他的头号歌曲《在草地上放牧》，这首歌在1968年全球卖出了400万张。他于1973年回到非洲，在接下来的17年里，在博茨瓦纳、利比里亚、尼日利亚、刚果和几内亚进行了一系列的音乐合作。然后，在自我流放了30年后，他于1990年回到了自己的祖国。
