[GirthUnitz]

The pleasure is all mine GirthUnitz. thanks for watching my videos and your subscription. watch out for more of Taiwa's music. God bless!

[monkeyfighter96]

these boys were holding a crucible for our dreams of the future sounds for SA. but the fire was so very hot, and so very few elders to guide, and the cost of too much fame too fast too big, and no safety net...such waste indeed. but then again, in all the seeming greatest tragedies, the intensity of the lived tho brief burn brightest, just before they immolate themselves. Rest in Peace > Moses > Moses 'n Flo and May there be Peace N'kosi Sikelel'i Africa

[LASEGO]

well said bro...

[oKangwane]

RIP Moses Khumalo, Moses Molelekwa.

Good post. Sounds Malomboish. Can u guys please post Dr Malombo, Philip Tabane is the best SA Jazz musician. Highly underrated musician. Miles Davis once begged to share a stage with him in San Fransisco.

[GirthUnitz]

Hey Steef, ik ook man!

Sinds ie dit speelde op Norht Sea Jazz 1999. heb ik van alles geprobeerd om een opname van die tv uitzending te krijgen, aangezien ik er niet live bij kon zijn.. heb jij daar toevallig een band van? Groetjes, Richard, toetsenist

[gurunapa]

Lasego,there are not many things that bring tears to my eyes but your response to my message made me realize what a blessed nation we are despite the hardships.i carry nelson mandela's out look with me wherever i go and the music is what really binds us together,i pray for peace and stillness in south africa and courage that people may grow and live a better life together

[gurunapa]

im from pretoria,ive been living in europe for 10 years,this music is my soul, ,this is not just music this a language understood by those born in south africa and lucky enough to have the eyes to see and the ears to here,malafrica...god bless you all,i grew up during the apartheid in the 80's but,was lucky enough to attend private multi racial school,i was tide to a black womens body as baby while she swept the floor,her african voice vibrated through my body as she sang beautifully,

[LASEGO]

I had goosebumps while reading your comment. Thanks for your beautiful words. This country has been blessed with a diversity of indigenous ethnic rhythms. Keep well brother.

[mamavox]

i actually get MAD watching this video. Mad that these young cats had to die so so so soon and also mad about the manner that they died. life's a b*tch!

[LASEGO]

Could agree more with you sir. It was very cruel. Guys who hadn't even reached the zenith of their careers. Very sad indeed!

[wathusi]

for we can nothing against the truth, but for the truth...

[wathusi]

Kealeboga, Ngiyabonga, I thank you so much... where will I have got to see these guys! Unless I quit earth and join them overseas...Their music is forever amen!

[zuluboys]

Who are the musicians? I can see Fana on bass but who are the rest please? Moshe, RIP monna, we miss you and thanks for the music masterpieces.

[LASEGO]

Three of the people in this video are deceased...,

Sello Montwedi-drums, Joss Dlathu-Bass and The late)Mokone Senkgane-Trombone, (the late) Moses Khumalo-Saxophonet and (the late) Moses Taiwa Molelekwa-Keyboards. Thanks for the memories guys, you were gone too soon...

[DigiVado]

Hola..brilliant performance..I know this guys from Moretele park..sad most of them passed..but did you say young Moses Khumalo passed away too...please let me know the guy is very brilliant and commanded lots of respect among jazz fans.

[LASEGO]

yeah man, sad but true, Moses Khumalo took his own life early last year. Unbelievable...

[DigiVado]

Thanks..I never heard of that,what a waste of talent and a big loss to jazz fans.

[davinci11]

This is awesome!

[manvince]

Hi Lasego, thanks for posting Taiwa's amazing songs. As a African jazz pianist living in California, these youtube clips are so precious as they are almost impossible to come by. Please post as many Taiwa videos as possible especially from the same show as Ahe and Dance Africa. Thanks

[LASEGO]

hi Mavince. Sure thing brother! I'll load some more stuff. i'm still digitizing some of my own Taiwa's vhs tapes that I have. Taiwa's sister has also promised to lend me some of his recordings.

[manvince]

Thanks Lasego, keep it up.

[turnthepageobama08]

Thank you so much for posting this. There is nobody like him.

[LASEGO]

Pleasure is all mine. Watch out for more of Taiwa's videos soon!

[LASEGO]

Listen to that Taiwa Keyboard Intro in the first 30 seconds. Very haunting! Awesome stuff!
