It's been a great thing that has ever happened in the honoring of Phillip "Malombo" Tabane with a doctorate in South African music and original jazz philosophy of his own making, the man was very influential in teenage years as a music lover although I could not really understand jazz...I was dancing to township "mbaqanga" jive like all kids in the late 60's and 70's. I always knew that his music was a kind that would make him travel all over the world because it had African roots mixed with jazz guitar virtuosity which was unique and kind of exotic. He played with another bongo maestro Gabriel Tobejane who I also wished to have been honored with a doctorate in percussion...man, he would make those bongos talk!!! Congratulations to Dr Phillip Tabane.
Ако това в ръцете на един от музикантите, е плод от маломбо, то прилича на кратунка, малка тиква. В миналото у нас с такива кратунки са носели вода. Сега е просто шарен сувенир. Кратунка.

My father Fish Phale was part of the malombo please kindly share his videos if you have them I would really appreciate 🙏🙏🙏
Tjerrr the subtitles are kaak. I'm glad I can speak the language. Oh, the joy and beauty of Malombo music.
This is epic!
I love music that talks to the African in me.IF THIS IS NOT GENIUS ,THEN WHAT IS IT.
I like music that educate me and entertain me at the same time. And Dr Malombo has done that
Once more South Africa is poorer. RIP Dr Tabane.
He's is definitely still alive!

А аз досега мислех, че маломбо е вид лиана с плодове като ябълки. Оказва се, че също така, има такъв вид музика.
Can anyone let me know if this great man is still alive? I cant find out anywhere on the internet ! Thanks
Unfortunately he passed on
