Mona has inspired me to learn to play the cajon! I just happened to stumble into the Taylor Guitar Room at NAMM when she was playing with her band Raining Jane. And I remembered this performance on PBS. I quickly came home and called my local music store for a cajon. YOU GO MONA!!!!
This is a really old post, but this is an example of the performers becoming the music. Nothing fazes them-broken string, whatever-and they are in perfect sync all the way through. Really professional. Actually, unbelievable.
@ Jason Mraz 🎶music : I just watched you on Ellen DeGeneres Show And you were awsome ..You also had Mona Tavakoli Performancing with you and your band ..You won 🏆 the Mark Twain Award that was so cool 😎 👌 your music 🎶 is fantastic and the more I hear the more I like 👍 really amazing ..I really enjoyed this very much ..Always a friend and Fan Laura 💓@
I absoultely love the energy, education and explosive passion Mono brings to the music world. I can't watch her without dancing and tapping on anything close by. A genuine heroine of oercussion, best rhythm maker ever!❤
is that audience in a fuckinc coma?? Why didn't Ellen give these two a standing ovatin??!!! that was A-W-E-S-O-M-E and they don't even know it. Bravo Jason and Mona!
I don't know if Mona was suppose to break Jason's guitar but that was so A.W.E.S.O.M.E. and Jason could still play so amazing after that (even though the strings are like out of place and some are falling) Jason Mraz you really are the best singer/songwriter for me :)
yeah breaks it!! but let me tell you on the big event specially on the croner playing instrument there are men playing as the same time with him so whenever the string breaks sound or music continues.. its called backstage opera player
the girl is amazing at the drumming thing she does i saw jason mraz concert at dte and she wa there and they did this song and it was awesome i loved it! they both are amazing!!!
I wish i'll be as courageous and half the idol Ellen is to many people young and old, she is just amazing and this song will be on loop and i will listen to it every time i'm in my highs and lows to inspire me for more
Thanks so much for putting this up! Especially with the caption, too. THANK YOU. It's awesome how they kept going even though the string on his guitar broke. AWESOME. I miss TOCA, too, but MONA is fantastic, too. :)

What a legend, the string goes and he just carries on like there's nothing out of the ordinary.
I absoultely love the energy, education and explosive passion Mono brings to the music world. I can't watch her without dancing and tapping on anything close by. A genuine heroine of oercussion, best rhythm maker ever!❤
This is one of the greatest performances of ALL time and Ellen looks underwhelmed. Im no longer a fan of hers but Mraz is a LEGEnD🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Did anyone notice his guitar string break at approximately 2:58 ? Smooth continuity; he continued without even an extra blink of an eye....
that's what making him A.W.E.S.O.M.E XDDDD
Yea I've had that happen to me too. No biggie
Jason could be even a Capella and music would come out from his chest like notes.... He is music made human being.
Thanks for posting this. I was mesmerized when I saw this on TV. Sure hope they release this as a single! Mona is amazing.
I love how much fun they have playing together!
is that audience in a fuckinc coma?? Why didn't Ellen give these two a standing ovatin??!!! that was A-W-E-S-O-M-E and they don't even know it. Bravo Jason and Mona!
Deserve a standing ovation.
Finished smoothly with a broken string.. Man you're awesome
Holy mother of the Earth! That was spectacular!!!
I know right!!!! THIS is why I love Raining Jane and of course Mr. A_Z
I come back to this song for the sheer volume of fun! #yes
Absolutely amazing! Jason is beautiful, as usual, and Mona is just wonderful! Love it!
I don't know if Mona was suppose to break Jason's guitar but that was so A.W.E.S.O.M.E. and Jason could still play so amazing after that (even though the strings are like out of place and some are falling) Jason Mraz you really are the best singer/songwriter for me :)
For me too
She did not break it. A string has snapped, that's all. It happens *ALL* the fucking time, you know.
Jason is the best. Is Mona married ?
+Adriian Savage Jason is already married. Not to Mona though
yeah breaks it!! but let me tell you on the big event specially on the croner playing instrument there are men playing as the same time with him so whenever the string breaks sound or music continues.. its called backstage opera player
This is what you totally can Call: True Artist!....WoW!
2020 now but still unbelievable.
wow they're so tight!
lol at 2:40 "monotone solo!"
This is so inspiring. I watched it live, but I'm glad it got posted. Greatness is just an inspiration away.
여자분 기타 치다가 줄이 끊었졌는데 이에 전혀 아랑곳 하지 않고 끝까지 완주하면서 흥을 오히려 돋우는 므라즈가 정말 놀랍네여
This is ART itself.
I have nothing against Mona. She's great. But I really, really miss Toca. Toca and Jason made magic
Could not agree more. He was irreplaceable tbh
This version is probably the best one yet! but i was played in the wrong crowd.
este tipo si que tiene claro como tocar la guitarra. Es uno de los mejores artistas del siglo
Mona,s look at 3:01...That,s what enjoying the music you play looks like..
Genius, amazing, brilliant -- thank you for brightening up my week -- Bklyn, NYer 11/4/2012.
Amazing Mona & Jason.. Bravo !
man that was fucking awesome!! mona killed it!
Living legend...Plays with a broken string as though nothings happened and it still sounds fckn awesome...!
Can't hear it enough.....fantastique!
MR. AZ you are a boss.
And Mona did probably one of the sickest drum beats I've ever seen on a guitar.
These two are magic...wow
I agree!!! I can learn and learn.Excellent benchmark reminder that you can always go farther musically.
the girl is amazing at the drumming thing she does i saw jason mraz concert at dte and she wa there and they did this song and it was awesome i loved it! they both are amazing!!!
Mona Jan, love you and your style and your energy ❤🌹👌
Broken string and he still ROCKS IT!!!!!
I wish i'll be as courageous and half the idol Ellen is to many people young and old, she is just amazing and this song will be on loop and i will listen to it every time i'm in my highs and lows to inspire me for more
so inlove with Jason Mraz!!!
Whoa he still effin' did it and complete d song with a broken string after that mono solo! You're really A.W.E.S.O.M.E Jason and Mona!
Jason ithe best
Literally the coolest thing I've ever seen
She is amazing. Oh wow, she steals this .... What a find !!!
I am here just for Mona!!! She is a Persian star!
You two are fabulous. Nicely done.
This man is the best. I'm really in love
OMG ! That broken string ><
I love the way they carry on their show !!! Pure artistS !
Beautiful...!
So A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
Only Broken string + beatbox (cajon) but I feel like I'm watching full band show 😍
You are DeGeneres and you are so awesome it hurts.. hahaha.. You Bleeping did it.. so cool!!!
Outstanding!
Thanks so much for putting this up! Especially with the caption, too. THANK YOU. It's awesome how they kept going even though the string on his guitar broke. AWESOME. I miss TOCA, too, but MONA is fantastic, too. :)
i love the clip 93 million live london.....you have a heart and isn t shy, lady....very good performance!!!...love jason marz in london with u!!!..very competent and pretty...hugo..rio de janeiro brazil
Those two are just perfect!
That was fantastic. I suggest adding Mona Tavakoli's name to the title. She did, after all, steal the show.
this is an EPIC PERFORMANCE! JASON MRAZ IS REALLY aMRAZing !
i love that J doesnt try to overshadow the godess mona and she is the effin start of this performance . same with the videographers abd whoever edited this.

True performance and performers... if only there was one string left, Mr. Mraz can make it up.
They done did it !!!!
Well said! :) And just to add on, Jason Mraz is one of Ellen's favorite artists lol
HOW CAN THEY STILL SOUND SO PERFECT IN MY EARS EVEN WITH A BROKEN STRING??!?
Wow!!!
Mona você é a MELHOR, JASON hummmmmmmm
what a musician!!! damn
Why isnt the audience jammin with them?! I'm cheering and I'm in my kitchen! haha!
They were probably expecting reggae lol
that was awesome!!!
AWESOME 😱😍😍👏👏👏
i love this version of this song A W E S O M E
Love this !!
Loved this!
You really did it.
Magic.....
excelente!!
wow amazing
The instrument she's sitting on is a Peruvian "cajon", it's pretty awesome, I've heard it there and they do amazing muisc with it
omg that was a-w-e-s-o-m-e
You fuckin' did it
You really did it yeah
You fuckin' did it
You fuckin' did it
You fuckin' did it
You really did it yeah
You fuckin' did it
You fuckin' did it
All those who are hangin' round the water cooler
Will never believe how you tackled the thousand puzzle pieces
And you could see it before we completed it
Before we made it whole
How you put it all together with a blindfold
You're like a long game token that keeps the game goin'
But your claim to fame is how you like to lay low
Out of the lime light
Which can hurt your eyes
If you're not careful you'll become another devil in disguise
But you watch your back
You watch your back
You're growing eyes in the back of your head
To prevent another sneak attack
Sneak attack
You must be keepin' secret weapons in your fanny pack
You're like my laughing gas
You got the cat to dance
You're like Lance on a mountain in the Tour de France
You got a wing span spanning the globe
You got gold
And you're teaching us to let go
You're a wise old owl when you're the cats meow
If this were twelfth grade you would be my cap and gown
If this were India then you would be a sacred cow
And I'd bow down to you
So grateful to the Gods for making you
You fuckin' did it
You really did it yeah
You fuckin' did it
You fuckin' did it
La la la la la
You really did it yeah
You fuckin' did it
La la la la
You'll be standing up for equal rights of the American people
And you'll be meeting all the influential seekers with a similar dream
You've got a front seat saved that's emblazed with your name
And a super hero cape on
You see the future as a sky full of possibility
With a spryness of mind and a psychic ability
You probably won't die at the hands of an enemy
And not in a den of inequity
You're not the average Joe
You're not the average Jane
You're not above or below
But you're never just plain
You never take no, personally
And any time you get stopped you try another way
Could we settle for a kiss without a cease and desist
If they ask we won't tell 'cause we're activists
I am that I am and you are that you are
And we're all that is
How p-e-r-f-e-c-t your a-t-t-i-t-u-d-e be
What does that spell?
It spells you did it
You really did it yeah
You really did it
You fuckin' did it
You fuckin' did it
You really did it yeah
You done did it
You really didininin.
When you circumnavigating the turntable call and attracts
Like you be jumpin' in the water you be makin' a splash
You be keepin' your heart beat going
And you be keepin' the harmony going
Well there's an awful lot of musical styles you could play
Well there's an awful lot of tastes
An awful lot of dates you could be on
You be keepin' your back bone strong
And you be keepin' the trombone blowin'
Well every friend of mine will give each other high-fives
When your beautiful mind is to your own devices
You do what you like and you always like what you try
You touch me like an iPhone application
Move me like a smooth jazz music station
Do what you do in the way that you choose to do them
Oh my God
You're quick to be so quotable
Damn you got a way with words
You got a magical handshake for saving the earth
You are a generous man
You are so awesome it hurts
You are a-w-e-s-o-m-e
It spells you did it
You really did it yeah
Kudos!!
AWESOME
That was A W E S O M E!!!!!!
Kudos Debby.
엄청나네 진짜 항상
wow, great
This was so Amazing ! : ) So creative !!! : )
I love Mona.
This guy is a genius....
Ooh now i saw it! I didn't saw it the first time :)
But man it's amazing how he can still play well with one broken string.
Thanks 4 the lyrics!
Superbbbbbbbbbbb......
I don't understand how that performance didn't receive a standing ovation..
That crowd .. I don't wanna say .. dead.
