The Heritage Session: Zoë Modiga and Tresor on the Legacy of Bra Hugh

We’re taking a moment to honor the blueprint of African jazz and resistance. On this episode of Afternoons with Zweli, we are joined in the studio by two of the most powerful voices in modern African music: the incomparable Zoë Modiga and the visionary Tresor. Both artists are part of a massive tribute to the legendary Bra Hugh Masekela, and they’re getting personal about the man behind the trumpet. From their very first memories of hearing "Stimela" to the direct impact Bra Hugh had on their own creative paths, we’re exploring what it means to carry his torch in 2026. We also get a sneak peek into their upcoming collaborations and how they are continuing to push the boundaries of African sound and culture. It’s a celebration of heritage, a lesson in history, and a look at the future of our sound. Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.
