Mr. Masekela (A Different Long Run S3)

Mr. Masekela is one of my favourite tunes ever.
This song is a special dedication to a great team, the Nairobi Horns Project (NHP)

This song was written by an amazing musician, Mr. Mackinlay Mutsembi and was first played by the Nairobi Horns Project where I was the bass player and was privileged to play that song for the very first time.

I decided to play this song at A DIFFERENT LONG RUN Season 3 to honor all the great musicians I worked with in NHP and who saw my growth musically.

This time I decided to play it with my own team and amazing musicians and it sounded totally different:
