Hugh Masekela & Siparia Deltones - Dingolay (Visualiser)

This is the lyric video of "Dingolay" off of the collaboration album between iconic South African trumpeter, composer, singer, cultural actionist Hugh Masekela and the Trinidadian steel orchestra, Siparia Deltones titled "Siparia To Soweto."
After Bra Hugh witnessed the Siparia Deltones at the San Fernando Jazz Festival in 2005, the idea of bridging the musical words of Africa and the Caribbean was born, extending a musical love affair dating back to his time in London, England. During this time, Masekela was transfixed by the arrangements, vernacular, and style of calypso music. Masekela's visits to Trinidad between 2012 and 2016 expanded his appreciation of these sounds, their embrace of the human spirit, and co-creative impulse. These facets spoke to Bra Hugh’s spirit and found an outlet in lively recording sessions helmed by esteemed musical arranger Carlton “Zanda” Alexander.
With its global outlook, Siparia To Soweto is a triumph of native sounds, celebration of legacy, and rhythmic highlighting of our shared lived experiences. It’s a testament to Bra Hugh Masekela’s enduring impact as a provider of empowerment, pride, and melody. “I would say that Hugh’s music, in this day and age, is not a symbol but rather a source,” nephew Mabusha Masekela says. “It’s a source assembled over a six-decade period that inspires, strengthens, instructs, empowers, and entertains. A symbol, to me, is something that represents the form or spirit of something else. Hugh’s music is not a symbol of a thing, Hugh’s music is the thing.”
