Francis Fuster (Pt 2)

Welcome back to part 2 of my conversation with Francis Fuster. We pick up our conversation in London in the 1980's. Francis is playing percussion for Hugh Masekela, he's touring with Paul Simon and that huge record, Graceland. We talk about playing in South Africa post apartheid and a short stint in jail - it was self-defense!

Title: You gotta be ready

Music: Bach, Handel, Miles Davis and John Coltrane
