Hugh Masekela Tickets

It was an amazing concert, and well played, not to loud but just right. It was also a very fun time, he got the crowd involved and it was just a blast. But after he wouldn't take a picture with me, because of the apparent chemicals in my hair, but oh well atleast i got to meet him :)

What a great show, I have been a fan for a few years now. So when i heard he was playing Banff I had to make a trip down from Edmonton and check out the concert. Full of energy and great music and humor backed by a fabulous band it was a great evening.

Show was very good. People were dancing in the aisles. Hugh was very personable with the audience, he made you feel like you were in his house. It was my first time to watch an event in the Chan Centre For The Performing Arts and I was very impressed.

Just saw Hugh Masekela and his 5 piece band at the Banff Centre - AWESOME! The guitarist's work reminded me of Santana and Mr. Masekela is a superb show man. Each musician was amazing in his own right. He had the whole place dancing. Yes!!

An unforgettable evening and certainly worth the drive from Calgary. First time at the Eric Harvey Theatre and will be back.

With a voice that can travel spectrums in the audible range, with a flawless mastering of the trumpet, with a band that seamlessly tunes in and supports AND with perfect acoustics of the venue and skillful mixer and sound technician this concert couldn't have been better. Lots of enthusiasm in the audience, partly from South Africa, made this concert just better and more interactive. Lots of respect for Hugh who is a prime example of the benefits of aging....

I last saw him in Ottawa probably close to twenty years ago. His show was quite different this time. More along the jazz line than the blues line. But he was still totally awesome. He interacted with the audience and seemed to enjoy the audience as much as they enjoyed him.

Unbiased...not! I've listened to Hugh Masekela for many years now and I would never miss an opportunity to see his performance. What impressed me most was that while Hugh has matured, he continues to be completely at ease playing with a relatively young band. Masekela is more than a musician. He like many other South African musicians is an ambassador. His grace, rhythm and poise places him firmly in the pantheon of the likes of Makeba, Mahlatini, Abdullah Ibrahim. He is a beacon to memory, and he evoked many on this night. His music is an indelible part of the soundtrack of my life.

The man is 71 years old but his dancing moves and energy does not show. He was very entertaining, youth at heart, great sence of humour! Please bring him back soon!

Hugh Masekela is still a great performer. His current group (all young!) are consummate musicians. His blend of African tunes, rhythms and jazz is, quite simply, unique. His flugel playing may not be as agile as it once was, but he's still got what it takes to make an excellent evening. The fact that he's a political radical (still!) and staunch defender of human rights - he talks about past experiences as narratives to the pieces he performs - adds extra value to the whole concert experience. Not to be missed!
