Sirocco: Ka Bohaleng | Abel Selaocoe with Manchester Collective & Chesaba

[@Zauberbratsche]

I'm a classical musician and am used to playing Beethoven, Shostakovich, etc., and I must say that this is WAY COOL! Mesmerizing rhythms, boundless energy and joy. And I know how hard it is to play those rhythms and keep it so tight and together, so bravo to all the musicians here!

[@alessandrovinci8724]

Exactly ! I'm a drummer in love with odd signatures and this is just sick ! So fucking rock

[@ZombieF14]

Agreed

[@alonzogarbanzo]

Abel is not only "genre-defying", he's gravity-defying. What a musician he is, but also what a superb ensemble he is making music with. Such passion, joy, and astonishing musicianship all around. Bravissimo.

[@somehippiedude]

the cut to the crowd had me shocked like how are yall not moving to this at all??? phenomenal stuff!

[@Skizze37]

They're in Manchester. A waltz or foxtrot should get them moving

[@joelRmontfort]

​@@Skizze37lmao

[@pog1g23]

I have a young cellist at home who just discovered Abel and is absolutely inspired by him.

[@christinelloyd8775]

I’m South African and only discovered Abel a few months ago! I was stunned and amazed by the energy and fantastic music! We have many excellent Jazz musicians here in South Africa, but this is on a level of its own. Superb!a!

[@DivineVDiaries]

If it wasnt for tick tok i wouldnt find this masterpiece. Absolutley amazing😍😍😍

[@jasperthejourno]

Me too. This is such an epic performance!

[@theiriskrissgamingandmisce]

Tumblr/tiktok for me All his songs are now added to my playlist in KZbin music

[@69wishs]

Same here!

[@kezako777]

this kind of energy can wake up the world

[@arijithbhowmic9151]

Yes you told the correct one

[@cultivateyourownwellness5437]

I am returning to music after a prolonged hiatus. Can I tell you how lovingly agitated and restless this made me??? The creative excellence here struck a deep cord of longing and reminded me of the sanctity of what we are as singers,musicians and performers. This was Brilliant. Thank you.

[@SmallBlogV8]

When the drummer just goes full send at the end it's as powerful and enlivening to witness as most rock drummers need a full kit to be. This whole performance is awesome.

[@wolfclaw8996]

If I was in the audience I would not be able to sit still!! Amazing!! 💥💥💥

[@unwrittenwizard910]

They looked too middle class to sing and join in lol

[@shemarbean1515]

Man I'm walking to get and I catch myself bouncing. I've just given in and starting moving like a crazy person 😂😂

[@backtowherewecamefrom]

Yes you wouldn't. Just had the opportunity to see them yesterday in Berlin Konzerthaus. I am speechless. I didn't know what to expect, since I got the ticket as a gift and just went in without knowing what I will witness. Still get the shivers thinking of it.

[@danijelajoksimovic5092]

Exactly! I am getting standing ticket! 😁😂

[@aprilmanderson2139]

This collective blew me away when I saw them in Manchester last year. They had me jumping for joy and glad to be alive !!

[@berxsol]

This deserves so many more views. It really melted my brain when a friend shared this with me. As a cello student is awesome to see the cello being explored with different styles and rhythms, it is something I want to achieve with my culture, as latin music on cello is not that common or explored (latin american here) This is so inspiring!!! pD:loved that polymeter

[@ManchesterCollective]

Thanks Bernardo! It's what really gets us excited as well - collaboration with friends and colleagues from different worlds. Keep fighting the good fight!

[@TheMusicalEvents]

Check out Muneer B Fennell (there is a lot on TheMusicalEvent channel :) )

[@homeroacuna8210]

hey there, in Arraigo Cuarteto channel we have uploaded two argentinian songs arranged for cello quartet, and four more latinamerican songs are to come. Our playing is not technically unconventional, but although we were classicaly taught we aim to give due value to music from our land in a rather unexplored format. as you say, it's great to come across this type of artists. listening was a joy for me too

[@kamaalthewanza]

South Africans and Jazz? absolutely mad!😭❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥

[@ИванКорчагин-в5ю]

I live in a place where snow can fall in the middle of May. I am fascinated by your music. It's beautiful

[@tamjammy4461]

How can I not have heard of either Abel or the collective before this? I'm sharing it with everyone I know. Fantastic! My music find of the year!

[@yvonnepeters1914]

I just heard him for the first time on PBS television this last week. Love it! 👍😊

[@ohmm3625]

Puts a smile on your face

[@evelinereherreher7049]

Your concert in Dortmund (10.11.24) made my heart sing. Thank you and God bless

[@ganondorfchampin]

The ending little bit is so metal.

[@vibeinc3444]

What is the name for the style of music he played at 1:49 I always hear music like that it always sound good

[@vibeinc3444]

Remind of pirate songs or something

[@Mo_B-xv2hv]

Who in the world is this virtuoso? And where, when, and how did he come to be???!!!!!
