The other day at her blog here, the Australian artist Hazel Dooney mentioned Dudu Pukwana, a musician that I was extremely lucky to see countless times in London in the 70's. He was one of the expat South Africans who came to prominence first as The Blue Notes and then as Brotherhood of Breath. Here is a version of Mongezi Feza's 'Sonia' by him. One by the Brotherhood of Breath here. And finally Robert Wyatt's version that features the late great Mongezi Feza on trumpet here. Dudu has also unfortunately since passed on.
The image above is by Hazel Dooney and is a detail from 'Strategies of Modern Survival'.
