Terence Blanchard - Sing Soweto

[@vernellthomas6644]

This is why I started playing the trumpet. Spike drew me into jazz with Mo' Betta Blues

[@mikelm1976]

Same for me..... I remember like it was yesterday, "8th grade band tryouts"

[@megabugginout]

Gotta love the casual dissonance of jazz.

[@DariusJones]

Spike Lee’s movies will definitely do that.

[@omgmazin]

the music in spikes movies is always amazing, terrence blanchard does a great job.

[@hyphenlife]

I wish I could find the strings version of this as heard at the end of Spike Lee's Jungle Fever.

[@theWILLIAMStarting5]

Me too!

[@lovellw4596]

I know right!!? Surely it's obtainable somewhere!

[@Scratchinggoat]

hyphenlife agreeable!!!!!!!!!

[@theErin]

That's where I've heard it before!

[@TheMonolith75]

I could listen to this over and over again. So beautiful! I feel like I'm back in Harlem taking my evening walks in the early Spring. Excuse me while I have my nostalgic moment. *sigh*

[@digitalmusicalart3494]

Denzel on the bridge...MO' BETTER BLUES.

[@dramahawkpromotions9621]

Yesss

[@smartcoco]

Actually, it IS listed in the credits of MBB, but I'd never seen it before and I've seen that movie, start to finish, dozens upon dozens of times. I watched it again Saturday morning and finally it dawned on me to look up every song listed (though I know the soundtrack by heart). THAT is how I found this song!!! 23 years I've been searching. I was a kid when I first heard this song (while Denzel "played" it on the bridge). It has also been in other Spike films, vocal or instrumental versions.

[@halimlittle]

I want this song in every version. It's not on any of spike joint soundtracks, but in most movies. Spike!!!, Terrance!!!, please bless us with it.

[@emesvideo]

Absolutely magnificent!!!! You can hear him play with his soul.

[@tygeryvonneify]

Mo Betta blues Brooklyn Bridge scene my favorite song

[@vernellthomas6644]

Tyger Yvonne You could feel Denzel’s sadness in this song.

[@israelitetype4b]

i like the version with the Harlem Boys Choir. its nowwhere to be found. Spike Lee HELP US OUT HERE MAN. we love this sing. post it!

[@kimberlyfandou3936]

israelitetype4b 😃😃😃

[@chrisutley2859]

Yeah...that version is from Jungle Fever. Stevie Wonder put a soundtrack album together from the film but Spike did not release a score only soundtrack.

[@TheFatboyT]

I dedicate this song to my beautiful baby boy. Malcolm Sengbe..see you on the other side. Pops loves u.

[@dmccartney01]

Even though "Sing Soweto" is listed in the MBB soundtrack it is not recorded. I recorded the song right off of the MBB DVD (Denzel on the bridge) and that rendition is with strings not voices like this KZbin version...still a sweet cut...

[@vernellthomas6644]

I loved that scene on the Brooklyn Bridge. That whole movie is a masterpiece and gives us an inside of how jazz cats get down with life period. One of my favorite movies

[@smartcoco]

Douglas McCartney it's actually not listed as part of the soundtrack. It's used as a song in the score. Terence also used vocally intoned versions briefly in a couple other Spike Lee joints. If you're tuned in to the song, it smacks you with its beauty and mutability.

[@hyphenlife]

Douglas McCartney there’s also a strings version of it in Jungle Fever. Been wanting to find that version for yeeeears

[@alicemiriah]

Well hell where is it lol we all want the strings version!

[@AllStarsOfComedy]

"I Went to See Terence Blanchard in concert last night,Manchester UK. I've waited 20 years to find the name of this track pPutting embarrsement aside, I had to hum the trumpet melody to Terence after the show. He looked at me with a twinkle in the eye & said "Sowetto Sings" I say this because I knew that despite 20 years had elapsed, I would eventually find this track from film "Mo Better Blues" but was not listed in credits. I knew when i did it would sum up the way I feel when I met my SM

[@vernellthomas6644]

All Stars Of Comedy What a great way to find out from the master himself

[@gnewt75]

Spike's father, Bill Lee, scored Mo Betta. Wish that was released to the public.

[@farrellcityking1]

I can never be more thankful to Spike than I already am. As a child, he, along with my mother, was instrumental in me loving my people to the utmost. Eternally grateful.

[@MaaziJay]

Is this song on one of his cd's?Cause I need it on my iPod..Lol..

[@geraldjohnson848]

Mar.13: Happy birthday Mr. Terrence Blanchard. Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload, TerrenceBlanchardVEVO. Blessings

[@george0t]

I like how he ends the song/anchors the last phrase on the flat 6th.

[@beautifulcaramelman]

I cry myself to sleep to this cut. I miss her so much. But I'm working on me now. In Zulu they say "zithande", which means love yourself. Fill your cup first fam. I still love her, but from here now. It will work out in the end. It always does.

[@tlawengmophosho4848]

A great period in jazz. Ias someone who was born in soweto I would like to see this played in the townships to hear people reactions to it.

[@RomelloSkuggs]

My favorite Terrence Blanchard song next to the theme of sugar hill. I ran out and bought three of his albums in 90s and this song. My favorite movie Mo Betta Blues

[@walterhenry5922]

I love the theme to the movie sugar hill. His 90’s music was the best in my opinion. From St. Nick to Convent the streets are mine! Romello Skuggs.

[@TheObserver_03]

Such beautiful music...sending love and respect from Soweto.✊🏿👏🏾

[@LoopGawdTV]

Quest love supreme with Spike Lee brought me here.

[@molefiramasilo4133]

Soweto is the name of one of the biggest townships in South Africa.

[@Croozer]

A true classic !!!

[@MegaVern1]

When heard this song I just picked up the trumpet and I just feel in love with this song.

[@dfoster4001]

MegaVern1 Terence also inspired me to play before I even knew who he was. The Mo Betta Blues. Played by ear first chance I got.

[@vernellthomas6644]

My peace and my Calm...its me on that bridge...this tune is in all of Spike Lee's movies it is played in various ways & at different points of meaning & moments!

[@Kosmonautdolly]

Thanks for the red undershirt of dusk after a torrents greys are dissipating on the vanes of northeast winds and cornfields.
