Uhuru Afrika
Uhuru Afrika was a monumental release: a 24-piece big band playing Melba Liston’s arrangements of Weston’s music, with poetry and lyrics by Langston Hughes, in a four-movement suite that fused jazz with African rhythms and song structures. Its music is so powerful that it was banned in South Africa. It also became the launchpad for the rest of Weston’s career, which saw him dubbed “America’s African Musical Ambassador.”
- 1st Movement: Uhuru, Kwanza
- 2nd Movement: African Lady
- 3rd Movement: Bantu
- 4th Movement: Kucheza Blues
