"Top of the world" - "That difficult 44th album...: At 78 years young, Masekela sounds as fiercely committed and as vibrant as ever ... He says he set out to make an album with an 'international diaspora kind of feel' and a smorgasbord of rhythms drawn from across the world's most musical continent sway and shuffle in and out of the trademark township jazz tropes. The opener 'Shuffle & Bow' is an angry tirade about the legacy of slavery with some mighty septuagenarian blowing on Bra Hugh's flugelhorn. 'Shango' shimmers to a Nigerian Afrobeat groove ... For the first time ever, Masekela duets with his son Selema (aka Alekesam) on 'In an Age', which includes a thrilling Zulu rap and was produced in Los Angeles by Sunny Levine, whose father Stewart helmed Masekela's number-one single, 'Grazing in the Grass' almost half a century ago. There's a lovely tribute to Mama Africa herself on a nostalgic township instrumental simply titled 'Makeba' while the feel-good 'Heaven in You' features the voice of J'Something from the white South African pop trio Mi Casa. Fabulous stuff from the grand old man".
