Hugh Masekela – Sarafina [Sarafina]

Sarafina is a 1992 classic movie starring Leleti Khumalo, Whoopi Goldberg, Miriam Makeba, John Kani and Tertius Meintjies. The movie tells the story of the struggles of students involved in the Soweto Uprising. Hugh Masekela’s song of freedom, Sarafina, was just the right fit for the movie. It premiered on Broadway on 28 January 1988, at the Cort Theatre, and closed on 2 July 1989, after 597 performances and 11 previews.
