Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 11. 2010
- The late great Moses perfoming his most intense classic. His debut album, 'Finding One's Self'' is the best contemporary jazz album I've heard in a long time.
It's 2024 and still enjoying this masterpiece ❤
Who is with me in 2020. Have been introduced to these legend recently.
We gather here for a sip of mellow deep African jazz. Moses remains a Great of our time.
i ✋🏻 ....you should hear the vocal versions too, one is by sibongile khumalo - mountain shade (you probably know it) , the other is by Brussels Jazz Orchestra & Tutu Puoane - mountain shade... tell me what you think about them.
@ Patman Tshepo Better late than never
Knew him all along but it's just HIT me realising he is the greatest still, because no one has ever done or archived this level honestly, I grew up on jazz/blues kinda vibe and this kid here is TOP dog 🎼🎶🎷🎺🎻
@@ipostsongs5305 Sibongile Khumalo does it for me. Her vocal prowess....🤗
2023 still here. Moses was a God given genius
Good too soon
❤absolutely
I was about 14 when I stumbled upon this man...this genius this virtuoso...
Genes and Spirits was the first CD I bought myself...
I was a loner of a child who related better to people 2decades older...and one if the many things I had in common with those people is a taste in music...
When this man died in 2001...my mom called me when I was at school and I cried till I got home...I wore black the next day which was valentine's day....
I doubt we will ever see something like this in our lifetime...
Rest easy.you magnificent soul...
I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I cried the whole week. It took me over 10years to get over that loss.
@@Jamie-bv2wv I know right?? 😭😔😭😔
Yho guys, i thought i was the only one. My aunt came to visit me to check if i was ok. She said I was the first person she thought of when she heard the news. I still remember that day. It took me forever to come to terms with the fact that I will never hear him release more music. I never got to see a live performance...it was just heartbreaking.
I'm only a 20 year old young man but my father taught me to listen and appreciate good music, and this right here is beautiful.
I guess you are twenty eight years old this years! Damn I love social media!
Moses Taiwa Molelekwa has grown on me, from he's underated compositions such as Kwaze Kwangcono,to Classics like Kwalo,he just had this special africaness in his playing..i wish he could have recorded official studio work for songs such as He e,Fast Lane and Nchengu Nchengu
hymn for Taiwa got me searching ukhuthi who is Taiwa only to realise he is late😥😪
R.I.P Moses Molelekwa
R.I.P Moses Khumalo
Your Music Lives On
Sorry grow up on this shit thanks to dad
who is with me ka 2019?
RIP to the legend
I have listened to the song twice today.
I saw Moses the day before he died, I remember twas the day before Valentine's day. I wish I said something to him
may be you d have persuaded him to hang on a little while.
Oooooh moses never gets old still fresh and relevant thank your soul
I came here after Stoan interview in podcast and chill
Giant gone too soon. After 20 years of knowing this track I am still playing it as if I am watching you live at Bat Centre where you hanging around with Busi Mhlongo and Zim Nqawe. Your Spirit and Gene's will leave on....
I'm here in 2019...My father is an avid music lover and when I was around 8/9 I had the opportunity to witness him live before he passed. I'm 28 and it's still fresh on my mind, music that transcend the soul
I was supposed to go see his last performance at Kippies and cancelled on the last minute. I still regret to this day. I only saw him once in 2000 at market theatre backing Busi Mhlongo. At one point during the performance sis Busi stopped singing and just looked at Moses with so much admiration. I loved those two souls.
He has a son called Zoe Molelekwa. He plays also, check out some of his work. One is titled Blues for the young here on CZcams.
Thanks .
Thank you for sharing.
thank you for that ... will check
Was in class with Zoe and he's his father's copy 💕🥺
@@veracioussligoge8014 haha, how cool is that?!?
you live in south africa? way back in the 70s someone gave me a record with zulu jive music, at first it sounded rather strange to me, but then i started loving it - with paul simon´s "graceland", south african music became known to the world - then peter gabriel brought the mahotella queens on stage in london during his mandela benefit concert - some years later they were here in germany and even in my hometown, saw them twice with the great mahlatini...
now, as i listen to this music, it comes to my mind, that during the late 80s i even saw a jazz band from south africa live in a small blues club, but can´t remember the name...
nice music here, i´m glad i just stumbled upon it....................... :-)
yay, love and greetings from germany
This was the era when jazz graduates from Fuba, Funda, UCT etc were making waves and jazz was a genre you could not ignore. These cats used to win awards in South Africa. That era is long gone. I miss it so much
RIP to my heroes of those times
Moses Molelekwa
Moses Khumalo
Sibongile Khumalo
Zoli Bacela
Kwazi Shange
Shaluza Max Mntambo
And many more vocalists and musicians who have since departed from this earth
Jazz is a spiritual extension of the limitation of words. The art and science that is encapsulated herein is amazing. RIP Ntate Molelekwa
what a way to put it
I can't get enough of this song. Moses was really digging in to the prophet inside of him. Long live Taiwa...
Mr Kubembu, i have played this song so many times, i just could not get enough of it. He seemed to have outdone himself on this version, if i am not mistaken this was at a concert in France. He seemed to have the ability to change the same song and make it seem new each time he played it.
@@bulelanimahlangu9858 where can we get the full piece?
In 2023 I'm still loving this song
Saw him in Kippies in maybe 98. One and only time l saw live jazz in SA. Always had an interest in SA jazz since my late teens. Am now 66. This deserves a wider audience
Bro Moss I still listening and enjoy your music.
Saw this young man in concert at BassLine around 2000. Soon after that he was gone. A priviledge to have watched him in action. A troubled and brilliant soul. May he finally find rest
Incredible performance. His piano solo is breathtaking.
This recording brings fond memories, I was fortunate to attend this show at the Hotel Dutchess Anne in Central Nantes 27 years, and joined the band backstage as I was the only South African in audience, sadly that was the last time I saw Taiwa performing. The French were left stunned. Proud to be South African
What a privilege you had Mr Seanego. I saw him once at Market Theatre, just after releasing his 2nd CD, Genes and Spirits. We can only speculate where he would be if he was still alive, but i understand he did not want to be called a jazz artist, he said he found that restrictive. I do not understand music but i listen to a lot of jazz, and all what i can say is that i listen to Moses, or Bheki Mseleku or Abdullah Ibrahim i feel like i am listening to two musical idioms at the same time, maskandi or mbaqanga or marabi on one hand, and jazz on the other hand (ha ha ha ) . Thank you for your comment, i can fully understand why French would be stunned.
@@bulelanimahlangu9858 I only saw him once backing Busi Mhlongo in 2000. His last show at Kippies I cancelled at the last minute. Still regret to this day.
feel like crying when i listen to this beauty. This is indeed timeless music.
I cry every time I hear it. This song invokes something man. ❤
Masterpiece. Probably my favourite Jazz Piano solo.
Rip uncle
I really wish i got to a chance to meet you
Moses Taiwa Molelekwa is one of my favarate jazz artist but I can't find his music
in 2017 we still remember him. RIP
Gwen kganane iam
2018 we still continue to miss him. It's a pain that will never end.
I've got no words the can encapsulate the art, science, genius and spirituality of this work.
Taiwa, grootman your contribution to South Africa Music Heritage is invaluable. Your music lives on.
beautiful music of South Africa from a genius called Taiwa Moses Molelekwa. I wish he was still alive this industry would be revolutionised big time.
I still weep for you
One of the best to ever do it, Genius, he speaks to the piano, good communication
Rest in everlasting peace BOY
Great you.
Extremely talented man. Saw him the weekend before his departure. Brilliant musician.
Intense, methodical, disciplined, creative. A true loss to SA music.
Discovered him late and what a talent. Life is not always fare.
am taken by your musical spirituality, I wonder what would have happened if you still here, RIP Moses!
Really recommend his biography: To the Peace on Earth by Struan Douglas. Gives you such an insight into the spirit of his genius.
Fell in love with his music from the first time I heard him play.. Legend!
Got the disc (Finding Ones Self) this comes from, and the title of this particular track is "Bo Molelekwa". Quite an emotional piece this. Reminds me of just what the music world lost when Moses left us...
Hey Brad. It's actually Mountain Shade. Bo Molelekwa is a solo piece. Words cannot describe the feelings induced by his music
+Brad Parker Can I get a copy from you Mate!
My dream to see you perform live will never be realised. I will hold on to every CD I have of you. Genius!
This a truly GREAT music from the Mother Land, I love these brothers...!!!
Absolutely beautiful -
I love this guy him and moses khumalo gone too soon .Rip my jazz music gurus
The African Beethoven. RIP.
A genius ..........Rest in eternal peace
Moses is the greatest...Tembisa weeehhhh
His music still resonates in 2019. RIP Legend!
What talent 🙌
What a genius Guy Moses molelekwa from home mzantsi
Moses, one and only of it’s kind who left musical legacy to the world so unique & infinite. Love you Moses. Rest In Peace, and please, play something from heaven for us.
Thank you so much for posting this song, I love this track... words can't describe the way it makes me feel.
Legendary...I shiver whenever I listen to his work!
Well Mr Kiepile you have to (ha ha ha ha). Come to think that he was in his early twenties when he created this music, it is just unbelievable. There are/were many brilliant jazz artists, and you start thinking that Moses would have belonged to the group of geniuses such as Keith Jarret or Brad Meldahu (forgive me if you do not follow international jazz).
If the late bra Hugh Masekela praises you on a track on Jimmy Dludlu's album...that means you are doing something right
What is the name of the track I have been looking for that song
@@charlesmatsobane9154 the track is from the album Afrocentric....it is called "I wish I knew" should be track 2 on the album
Isnt a track river of lost dreams
Enkosi ngawe Taiwa ! You've with beautiful sounds
Just found this guys music, :'( Greatness!
Gone too soon Taiwa... woke up missing your music so much!!!!
A genius gone too soon music lingers on
Happy 40th Annivessary Taiwa...
moses taiwa molelekwa gone but not forgotten
Monk himself.. really need him music right now RIP #mountainshades
Tlix Zaholic agh man the Monk himself total genius;absolutely amazing
Taiwa was a pour genius on that jazz piano.....one of the greatests that were ever produced by the African soil.
Eish Mr Makayi, it is as if you are listening to two songs playing at the same time, one mbaqanga and the other being jazz. When he died there was shock, and i suspect some of us never forgave him. He seemed to have deprived us of somebody that could stand up to jazz geniuses such as Keith Jarret or Brad Meldahu or greats such as Herbie Hancock or even Duke Ellington.
Music that just lets you sit back and reminisce...
Taiwa produces the greatest piano solo in the history of SA jazz here.
I think when he performed this song at moretele park was his best yet.
his music grew with age , he had passion & talent ,the fusion of instruments, electronic & africa eishy ! but what a sad way to end his life...RIP
with a big tear in my eyes both of joy and missing you. Robert
This Masterpiece , Ohh Moses .
I am here in 2020,needed some Moses medicine this Jazz iyababa
We are here today
I think of the video as an analogy to his life, an abrupt end to a talented individual at his peak! This, Itumeleng , Rapela and Bo Molelekwa will always get under my skin. Thank you Ntate Moses Molelekwa
Rapela!!!!! I regard it as one of the best contemporary jazz compositions of all time
Bra fana with his old black washburn bass
Bo Molelekwa.....a masterpiece
My all time favorite SA artist...
Shuu this track is heavy...SPIRITUAL, such beauty in the music.
too soon in deed, i agree with Tshepo. a genius , a perfectionist, very passionate.
Gone too soon, but i guess its was time, Salute bru....
Genius
Absolutely
October 2021 and I'm here🥰
Dang.....Pure genius act. Now that's whatsapp. Ntate Molelekwa re a leboga
