Renowned for the excellent and unique structure of his compositions,
the ultra talented Moses Taiwa Molelekwa was approached by Hugh
Masakela at the age of eighteen. His reputation as a composer and
keyboardist brought him work with South African greats such as Miriam
Makeba, Jonas Gwangwa and Thembi Mtshali. Molelekwa was also a founding
member of two bands - Brotherhood and Umbongo – who each won the Best
Jazz Group award in the 1991/92 Gilbeys Music of Africa Competition.
In 1996 Molelekwa won two FNB SA Music Awards for the Best Traditional
Jazz Performance as well as Best Contemporary Jazz Performance. These
awards highlighted his skill in blending the traditional styles of
South African jazz with contemporary sounds and influences. He was
amongst the leaders of a new generation of masterful musicians emerging
to reveal the vibrant spirit of South Africa. Moses was inarguably one
of the most exciting artists to emerge from this continent and embody a
newfound freedom.
