Ethiopian jazz by GiGi : Mengedegna with Tabla Beat Science

This is a serious live jam session! One of my favorites, Ethiopian singer Ejigayehu “GiGi” Shibawbaw is not only a solo artist, she is like Phil Collins or Sting, for she is also part of a group known as Tabla Beat Science.

The video below is a live show with the GiGi and the band. Whilst GiGi was once labeled the best obscure artist of 2001 by NY Times music critic, as we enter 2011 she is much less obscure, thanks to Palm Pictures which has released much of her material and YouTube which has made it more accessible.

Issa Bogayogo - Toroya

Music Television, Issa Bogayogo, fan made music video, song titled Toroya, album title Timbuktu, Six Degrees Records

*The Indies Network and MusicTelevision.Com is sad to report that Issa Bogayogo passed away on October 10, 2016, almost six years since we originally created this post.

The video below was made by a big fan of Issa Bogayogo whose YouTube handle is GuestFromTheWest. His story of why and how he made this video is below the video along with the meaning and Malian to English translation of the lyrics.

The song is titled Toroya and is track #5 from Issa's album titled Timbuktu, released by Six Degrees Records in 2002.

Guest From The West's Story on the why and how he made the video:

I was searching for a video to the song "Toroya" by Issa Bagayogo but couldn't find any. Therefore I sat down and after a complete night of fighting with Windows Movie Maker and a poor laptop I managed to get this together for all of you out there who like his music. Nothing special, just nice pictures of Africa.
I often go home by bike in the night after being in town and lately I've been putting on this song a lot while doing so. It's almost magic how the darkness around you can change just due to this song and how calm and relaxed one can feel. A big thanks goes out to you Issa for making all this beautiful music. When you're in my town show me up for a drink or two. My treat! ;)
If you like this song and/or want to support Issa go to his website which I added at the end of the video.
I finally stumbled over the lyrics and the meaning of Toroya. Toroya apparently means "suffering" in the Malian language and following is the English translation of the song itself.

The Malian to English Lyrics for Toroya

Toroya = Suffering

You only get out what you put in,
only work frees a person,
So, it is worth paying tribute,
to Malian artists,
to Malian youths,
to Malian women,
to Malian men who strive to improve their living condition
You only get out what you put in,
Work takes away from us vice, need and worries
You only get out what you put in,
let's pay tribute,
to the youths of Wassoulou,
to the youths of Karadougou,
to the youths of Briko,
to the youths of Ganadougou
You only get out what you put in,
welcome Moussa Koné,
welcome my charming guitarist Boua,
welcome Sidibé Mamou,
welcome Issa from Korin
A restless worker is always rewarded,
you only get out what you put in,
the sun shines again after the rain

Teena Marie - Lover Girl (Music Video)

So sad to hear Teena Marie passed away today, so young, at age 54. She was a princess of modern music where soul met high energy funk and disco. Teena will always be remebered by me for her willingness to drop into random clubs and jam her ass off with random artists whom she never played with or with pals like Rick James, who is no doubt awaiting her arrival in heaven where a major jam is waiting.

MusicTelevision.Com presents 10 year old soul singer Vicus Visser of South Africa

This 10 year old boy, in the video below, is from South Africa. He sings while playing an acoustic 6 string guitar which he treats as if it is a bass guitar. He plays and sings in a deliberate and precise way, showing that he understands R&B music as if he were a seasoned pro, nails the vocals with a sweet soul that would make Sam Cooke and Michael Jackson proud.

Since this was first posted to this network in December 2010, we finally learned the identity of the boy singing in the above video after he began receiving notoriety. His name is Vicus Visser. Whilst his Facebook and Twitter page has not been updated lately and does not seem to be active, try his Facebook at Facebook.com/vicusjonathan.visser and a innactive band account at Twitter.com/v4muzik

Adele has a potential hit song with Rolling In The Deep

Music Television, Adele Rolling In The Deep, Music Video, MusicTV

Adele herself, describes the song posted below as a "dark bluesy gospel disco tune". The first time I heard it, it felt like something classic from another era. I could not quite put my finger on what era. There are hints of Elvis with a bit of country. Whatever it is, it's cool. It feels like a hit.

Tiffany Christopher and her song entitled For What

Came across an inspired up and coming singer/songwriter named Tiffany Christopher. This video is a bit toned down, compared to her energy in front of a lively crowd. Will keep digging for videos that capture the thing she does. If you hear she is performing live, you'll be happy you went.

Lisa Loeb - Stay (I Missed You) - Music Video

Lisa Loeb's song titled Stay launched her career. The music video for the song is impressive becuase it was shot in one take and had no edits when everyone else was cutting their videos as if cuts were all that mattered.

Lisa Loeb may be the "Queen of The One Take Music Video". That would make actor Ethan Hawke is the "King Of The One Take Music Video". Hawke was the one who actually directed this gem of a video.

The song (and Lisa Loeb) broke through after Ethan Hawke had given a demo for Stay to Ben Stiller, who used the song in the end credits for the film, Reality Bites. It eneded up on the soundtrack for the film and as a result, hit the #1 position of Billboard's HOT 100 music chart, making Loeb the only person to top that coveted position without a record contract. Hawk then made the video which basically had no budget and shot it in one take.

Esperanza Spalding - A True Pure Jazz Heartist

MusicTelevision.Com presents Esperanza Spalding

You may have already seen her on The Late Show with David Letterman and she has been in thousands of places between here and there, even playing for heads of state and President Obama. But in this big bad world, artists who travel that wide can still remain too far under the radar. This is just one more little venue for this inspired and gifted jazz bassist and vocalist.

Esperanza Spalding is a breath of fresh air. As a bassist myself, I appreciate any upright players who can sing and play upright at the same time. Esperanza is as sweet and beautiful as she is articulate with her vocals and jazz stylings, as you will see in this local CBS TV interview and performance on a show called The Second Cup Café.
