The Unrestricted Selema Masekela Heart-Tether Conversation
Listen now
Description
In January 2021 we sat down for what became a 3 hour conversation with the legendary Selema Masekela. We laughed, we cried, and by the end we realized we were undeniably tethered for life, a beautiful heart tether. We've had many people ask to hear the whole conversation, rather than the more edited 1 hour conversation we put out in April 2021. In this episode we go into beautiful stories about Selema's relationship with his father, the late great Hugh Masekela, and include a deeper conversation around making music himself, and what it meant in 2020 to shout about racial justice (and finally be passed a mic when doing so) in a sport as historically white as surfing. We're so please to present the full episode now. The music you hear at the very beginning is the multitalented and multifaceted Selema himself, with the song "All is Forgiven" from his band Alekesam.
