The Boy's Doin' It is the seventeenth studio album by South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela.

Jazz Afrobeat. Hugh Masekela. Songs in album Hugh Masekela - The Boy's Doin' It 1975. Hugh Masekela - The Boys Doin't It. Hugh Masekela - Mama. Hugh Masekela - Excuse Me Please. The Boy's Doin' It. Recorded in Lagos, Nigeria and dedicated to Fela Kuti, The Boy's Doin' It has six extended jams, each of which does an excellent job of playing off deep grooves against ensemble vocals and catchy hooks, with plenty of room for Masekela's own trumpet and every note polished to a fine '70s sheen. It didn't matter what type of music fan you were: pop, disco, funk, world music, and any but the most hidebound jazz purist could get into these tracks. Album 1975 12 Songs. Jazz 1975.

Hugh Masekela's 1975 crossover album incorporated American pop and proto-Disco into his sound. You can also hear Funk influencing the angular, stuttering grooves and the heavily effected horns on the tracks. An excellent document of the ongoing cultural exchange between African and American popular music at the time, it's fun, danceable music as well. Hugh Masekela 23-06-1998. Total duration:1 h 11 min.
