Hugh Masekela - You Told Your Mama Not To Worry (1977)

"You Told Your Mama Not to Worry" is the twentieth studio album by South African musician Hugh Masekela. It was recorded in Kumasi, Ghana and released on November 9, 1977 via Casablanca Records labe

The album includes the song "Soweto Blues" performed by Miriam Makeba. The song is about the Soweto uprising against apartheid that occurred in 1976.

A reviewer of Dusty Groove stated "Pure 70s genius from Hugh Masekela – a record that's quite different than his earlier Afro-soul styled albums, but somehow even better! The format here is much more straightly soulful – with larger arrangements and a strong vocal groove on a number of tracks – but Masekela's trumpet is still blasting firmly over the top of the tunes, infusing them with a soaring sense of soul that's really great! Rhythms change up nicely from the early days – getting complicated at times, and matching the seriousness of the message on the best tracks – and titles include "Black Beauty", "Makonko", "You Told Your Mama Not To Worry", "Hangover", "Soweto Blues", and "The Mandingo Man".
