Stimela is a 1994 compilation album by South African jazz trumpeter Hugh Masekela.[3] The album was compiled and produced by Masekela's long-time colleague Stewart Levine.
Reception
[edit]John Storm Roberts of Allmusic noted: "These recordings are largely in Afro-funk style, though with heavy township infusions in places, from the 1960s and 1970s, including his massive hit, 'Grazin' in the Grass.' As a jazz rather than a roots mbaqanga player, Masekela was a natural for this stuff, and (some studio trickery aside) it still stands tall and powerful."[1]
