DATES

________________________________________________________

I think that anybody from the 20th century,
up to now, has to be aware that if it wasn't for
Louis Armstrong, we'd all be wearing powdered wigs.
I think that Louis Armstrong loosened the world,
helped people to be able to say "Yeah,"
and to walk with a little dip in their hip.
Before Louis Armstrong, the world was definitely
square, just like Christopher Columbus thought.

Hugh Masekela has died 23rd January 2018 -
peacefully and surrounded by his loved ones.

He was the heart and soul of Griot - not only as one
of the greatest entertainers, but also as the most wonderful
human being of all times - always bursting of energy & humour, open-minded and incredibly warm-hearted.

We are very happy and thankful that we had the possibility
to accompany him for the last two decades as friends
and as his European booking agency so to share unforgettable
times together.

His passing away leaves us behind extremely sad - while
we also know that his music will continue to play forever.
