Jazz legend and anti-apartheid hero Hugh Masekela honored

Lagos (CNN)Google has created a doodle in honor of jazz legend and anti-apartheid hero Hugh Masekela on what would have been his 80th birthday.

Known as the father of South African jazz, the trumpet master channeled the struggle against apartheid into soulful compositions that championed the experiences of ordinary South Africans.
Masekela died one year ago in January, a few months shy of his 79th birthday.
