Introducing Hedzoleh Soundz is the fifteenth studio album by South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela.[3] It was recorded in Lagos, Nigeria, and released in 1973.[4][5] The track "Languta" was later included in his 2004 album Still Grazing.

Background

Hedzoleh Soundz were a band from Accra, Ghana formed in the late 1960s. The word Hedzoleh means freedom in the Ga language.[6] The album contains eight tracks: six are written by Hedzoleh, one by Masekela, and one is traditional. Their original melodies were based on traditional Akan and Ewe music and employed dark, organic-sounding African drums instead of modern western congas. Hugh Masekela was introduced to Hedzoleh by Fela Kuti. In addition to this album, Masekela recorded two more with Hedzoleh: I am Not Afraid and The Boy's Doin' It.[7]
