It took 25+ years for me to find this legendary song and listen to it one more time :( I don’t know how to express my feelings. Been long time and I didn’t even know the name of it, who composed it, what language it was.. The only thing my ears remember all the time for more than 25 years was how great that trumpet solo and melody were. I almost lost my hopes if I can find it and listen to it again. I was probably something between 10 and 15 years old it was in a cassette where it was randomly recorded from a radio by someone. The most incredible part of the story that this song was maybe a kind of sign that tells me that I will be spending 5 years of my life in Johannesburg, around 10000km away from my home. I had no idea what he is talking about when I first listen to it. Now, I know..

The best version of Stimela that magnified Hugh’s magnificent ability on the horn ❤

I play this song every morning to start my day. I find it very uplifting and it gives me a deep spiritual feeling. I try to sing the words, I have no idea of their meaning but they sound immensely beautiful and the tune always gets me on track for the day ahead. Hugh Masekela was one hell of a musician, composer and human being and sadly his like will never be seen again but his wonderful music will live forever.

This is the version we first loved in London in the 80's when apartheid was still terrorising the people of South Africa. One of the most beautiful and powerful pieces of music ever. Thanks HM and fare well.

My big brother in law in Diedo Cameroon Épée Moudourou made me know this music in the early 1990's. I still love it,

I saw Hugh Masekela at th Apollo Theater in New York City some time in 1997, he gave a performance I will never forget. Coal Train is one of my most favorite songs. Rip.

RIP Bra. Memories of Toxteth Community Radio 1988/89 hearing this beautiful yet haunting and sad song. His vocals and his trumpet are unrivalled - a real loss. Thank you, Bra, for your inspiration to millions in fighting the inherent evil of apartheid.
