Transcription

Reception

Richard S. Ginell of Allmusic wrote: "Now happily resettled in South Africa, Masekela assembled a seven-piece group there and recorded an informal guided tour of his life and repertoire live in Washington D.C.'s Blues Alley. The songs stretch over a period of nearly five decades and several countries and composers -- from an incantatory Alexandria township tune, 'Languta,' which he learned in 1947, to a fairly ordinary piece written by keyboardist Themba Mkhize in 1993, 'Until When.' 'Abangoma' starts the CD out on the right track, hearkening back to the early fusion of African music and jazz that Masekela was playing back in 1966."^[7]
