Masakela is one of the world's few Titans of entertainment---he turns a musical concert into an epic evening of theater and a concert hall visit into a trip around the world!
It was inspiring to see a "young" man of 75 years perform as though he was 35. It was a wonderful show.
Hugh is a marvelous performer/entertainer. His band was great, as were the musical selections. My only complaint regarding the show is it was simply too short. Also, nothing in the theatre was open to service partrons of the show. My husband and I hoped to have a drink before the show, but the usual set-up was not present. No refreshments and too little Hugh sums up this review.
Fabulous!!! I wish I hope I have his energy when I turn 75. The music was ranged from high energy to soulful. Wonderful concert.
Hugh is the ultimate entertainer who always gives more than you bargained for!
An Absolutely AWESOME experience! Would love to see him again as well as similar international and local artists!
THe show was Fabulous, but the diner was so so, may be it was my choice
You can never ever go wrong with bra Hugh. top notch performance. lets not forget the band, they are truly "playing at work"
Hugh put on an enjoyable show at the Birchmere on Wednesday night. Show lasted two hours but a good chunk was him talking & telling jokes. He was quite animated. Pretty good chunk of the setlist was from the "Hope" live recording which I really like. I had hoped the band was going to pack more punch than they did. They only revved up one or twice and that was for short stretches. There was no Soweto Jive in this show. Hugh's playing was good, but his primary role was as a signer. Good show, but had hoped for more.
Hearing his music live brought tears to my friends eyes. After hearing his songs and enjoying them for years, actually seeing the man perform was more, much more than amazing. A great night!
I enjoyed every second. That man is amazing and gave us an awesome performance. Just wish that the people in front of me weren't trying to record the whole concert and that Birchmere Staff would walk around to enforce the no camera rule because Hugh Masekela even gave her a gesture to quit recording him. Other than that...I loved the show and would definitely recommend anyone who enjoys real music to go see him. The Birchmere is nice and has good food.
One of the best performers we've ever seen. Amazing talent and still has incredible dance moves at 75. Don't miss the opportunity to see a real living legend.
Great performance! Go Hugh Masekela!!!!!! Would recommend this. Can't wait for another event similar to this one.
The concert was amazing. Mr. Masekela had the audience involved and we loved it. He is so talented and loves his craft.
Best overall performance I have attended at the Carolina. Masekela excites and pleases and teases and tickles to the delight of the audience. Along with the group he has such sophisticated chemistry that they close the generation, gender, and cultural cracks too. Youthful and energetic . POO POO on those that missed this legend. Their loss!
The show was fantastic, my seat was in a great location. The only problem was the performance was not long enough. Hugh Masekela has so many excellent "jams". It was just under 2 hours. But it was still a good show!
I have seen Hugh Masekela perform several times. The way he combines his South African musical heritage with jazz is just amazing and wonderful. It was a truly special event
A great versatile trumpet player, who also sings, dances and has an amazing vocal range that includes the sounds of his native South Africa. The band was tight and theguitarplayer, who looked to be about 18 years old, was genius.
unbelievable energy - at 73 he was hopping around the stage like a teenager, taking the audience with him through an amazing show. loved every minute of this high-energy, incredible show.
I haven't seen him in 20 years! It was AWESOME to see him and his band is also AWESOME! I love that he has young up coming musician - PERFECT!! When will you have him back @UCLA - THANKS
