Botswana, Bra Hugh�s second home, mourns

The jazz maestro, who spent three decades in exile during the apartheid era, had association with Botswana from way back, but his most notable was when he sought refuge in 1980.

After settling in the country, he set up a mobile recording studio and did two albums. Together with the Kalahari Band, Masekela recorded the technobush album at Woodpecker in 1984 and the album consisted of songs such as the evergreen Motlalepula (The rainmaker).
