The event honored Masekelas contributions to jazz music and his impact on South Africa as a cultural destination.

The highlight of the afternoon was the induction of Hugh Masekela into the Ertegun Hall of Fame, a prestigious recognition for his exceptional talent and remarkable achievements in the music industry.

We are proud to celebrate his induction into the Ertegun Hall of Fame and highlight the unique cultural offerings of South Africa as a mustvisit destination for travelers seeking enriching experiences.

The event honoring Hugh Masekela at Dizzys Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center was a successful celebration of his legacy and South Africas cultural richness.

In the five years since his passing the Hugh Masekela Heritage Foundation has continued to devote energy and time to maintaining and motivating projects that Bra Hugh initiated while still with us, as well as new initiatives that fit within our mission statement, stated Pula Twala, Board Member of the Hugh Masekela Heritage Foundation. None of these projects or initiatives would be possible without the continued support, both material and spiritual, of our friends and family, sisters and sons, institutions and organizations, near and far, sharing the values that Hugh espoused, promoted and stood for.

Visitors to South Africa can immerse themselves in the local culture through music, art, dance, and cuisine, which are integral parts of the countrys identity.
