Moses Taiwa Molelekwa - jazz genius

Moses Taiwa Molelekwa (1973 - 2001) was one of the great South African jazz composers and was a jazz pianist extraordinaire.

Captured here in an afternoon rehearsal before the Fin de Siecle Festival, Nantes France, in 1997, Moses tragically died in 2001.

MELT 2000 has released the Moses Taiwa Molelekwa Live at the Fin de Siecle Festival Nantes 1997 DVD (MZADV001) to celebrate the spirit of this great talent.

@SirenGuitar - The track is called Rapela and can be downloaded from Mondomix (google and search fof Taiwa) but its not the live version. There are many other tracks there too I hadn't heard before.

Great talent. Wish he was still around to influence and contribute to today's music.

Ahh cool, just downloaded it! Thanks. Sounds very different, I probably thought it was a different track when I was looking for this before.

This is a great jam, do you know if this track is available on CD?
