My zulu genes makes my skin shivers when Nokwazi when she said INTOMBI YOMZULU and also when she was praising her Clan names. Again when Tabia said uyintombi yomuZulu. Bro i live my tribe. This session was Spiritual. I can even feel the presence yamadloz' ami oMbuyazi, Mabhodla, Umageza ngobis' ekhon' amanzi emthonjeni(praising my clan names)
So unbothered by the 57 dislikes. I’m in America watching this wishing Africa was around the corner!! I love that Africa is in our soul no matter where we are in the world Asè
Music by Black Motion transcends this world. It has one foot in the spiritual realm and another in the physical. I wonder if anyone else feels like this? Some of their songs are not just 'music' , it's worship, it's a call to your ancestors and it is deeply African 🔥🔥🔥🔥🌟
Is that Alie Keys???????? Also, the guitarist is all the way from KwaNdebele!!!!!!!!!!! I’m crying real tears!!!! Nothing is as exciting as seeing our musicians win!!!!!! 🥺😭
@@SirLifa Yes!!!!!!!!! We went to Cultura High together, waseVlaklaagte No2!!!!!! Yes!!! I knew it was you!!!! I’m so happy for you, Bro! God bless you man 😭
We are so blessed as South Africans and the world really, to have artists like Black Motion that create, not only a musical experience but a spiritual experience as well.🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦💓💓💓💓.Your music heals.
😭😭😭😭 The opening and the closing, so spiritual. I felt everything, every presence, I felt the blessing. So proud of Black Motion and the Family 🤩 T.I.A - THIS IS AFRICA 🔥🔥🔥🔥 cheers from Angola 🇦🇴
Even though this was recorded at home, it still was an out of body experience. The chills I got from just imagining the energy that was in this room? It truly felt like I was being serenaded by my ancestors
In time. Just remember the majority of our South African music is in our native languages and we don't have a Pigin version like in Jamaica or West Africa. So when it's a hit its a hit ngempela.
I'm from Angola, but I'm your unconditional fan. Your performance thrills the soul and the spirit. Believe... love you all. Musically you represent Africa on a level not yet seen. 😭 🔥🔥🔥
I had never known of Tabia before today😍😍😍. What a talent!!! She killed it too. She very much reminds me of the late Busi Mhlongo. Loved that woman to bits♥
Brandon, Nokwazi and Tabia 🔥😩😭 wooow man 💚💛 . I'm kinda sad Black Motion themselves didn't throw in their dances but wow man, Imma keep coming back to this many times ♥♥😍😭
Tjoh! Tjoh! Tjerrr! Thixo wase George Gogh! Feeling so proudly African! Can't wait to see Black Motion live again... IN PERSON! Surrounded by the energy of thousands of dancing bodies.
Aowa! We need to give Thabo Smol all his flowers maan has been doing those drums 🥁 too dirty for too long...What he does on that Imali beat is just incredible. Wao betha moropa saaan 👏👏👏
@@cooley_za I see. Probably why she came on such an international platform not warmed up and performed with her hands in the pocket like she's leading hymns emlindelweni
Such an amazing performance! Black Motion never every disappoint! I would forever be grateful to have opened a Set for them in Lagos. It is such an honour to play alongside Legends. Much love to every single vocalist. And then entire band. This is Golden.
❤❤❤ Most beautiful and magical and soulful performance! Last song is just overwhelming, every single artist is giving more than 100% of himself/herself.🎉🎉🎉

Big shout out to the NPR team for giving a platform to beautiful global artists.

Her voice is everything 😍😍😍😍

Eish bruv! Feel good live sessions gave us that one😭
Facts!!
Alie Keys deserves to get his flowers while he's still with us, man's done alot for the music industry...

Brenden Praise's vocals are elite 👌🏾

Prayer for rain is so spiritual. I literally felt like the clouds were gathering. If thats not music that speaks to your soul, then I don't know.
Every time i listen to this song, it always rains. We'll see what happens tomorrow
@@leratomokhere4583 omg I was confused about when I commented for a second 😂. Our names are quite similar.
@@lerato-mm very similar 😂😂😂
@@leratomokhere4583 haha! Small world!❤️
It’s because she was the best singer out of all
When Tabia said lets pray she really meant it because 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Black motion representing SOUTH AFRICA and AFRICA as a whole💗🚀
Tabia's performance was so spiritual 😪😪😪😪😪🔥🔥🔥🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯This perfomance deserved 45min atleast.

Probably the second south African artists to be on tiny desk and there couldn't have been a more perfect duo than black motion 🔥🔥🔥
First was Black Coffee
Prayer of Rain is my favorite jam and every time it plays in a concert, I swear it rains. Thank you Black Motion.... South Africa Stand Up
With Tabia being a young Mam'Busi Mhlongo❤️😍
Mbali nginawe Njayami!!!
When Tabia said 'let's pray' I knew it was game over 🔥... floodgates were open!
😭😭😭😭 The opening and the closing, so spiritual. I felt everything, every presence, I felt the blessing. So proud of Black Motion and the Family 🤩 T.I.A - THIS IS AFRICA 🔥🔥🔥🔥 cheers from Angola 🇦🇴
Yooh the beginning and the end , they really took us on a spiritual journey.
OHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! YESSSSSSS!!!!💖🔥🎶 THAT took me THERE when they opened up!
Dankie Suid-Afrika 🇿🇦✊🏾 9:38
Essa malta é forte demais!
Daqui um mangope tambem.

Even though this was recorded at home, it still was an out of body experience. The chills I got from just imagining the energy that was in this room? It truly felt like I was being serenaded by my ancestors
Yerrrrr Prayer for Rain is such a spiritual experience.
Never heard of this group. 5 minutes in and I have goosebumps!
South Africa Stand Up🇿🇦❤🎶
It’s as if Thabo gets overpowered by something when he is on those drums mahn....he is so powerful 🥺. I always get chills watching him perform 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Am with you brother he connects and let's himself be part of the music
What a refreshing way to take a break from amapiano (have nothing against them)
hahahah yeah for sure
I'm in HAITI 🇭🇹 watching Black Motion 🙌❤️
South Africa we here 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Nokwazi nailed it as usual!! Choss💃

Pure GOLD. Black Motion deserve a LEGENDARY award for their consistency in bringing pure African amazing sounds. We don't deserve them 😭😭😭
If I heard prayer for rain live. I think my soul would leave my body and I would transcend this world
The drummer had the most fun he was in his element 😩❤️
His name is thabo
He always does 🔥🔥🔥
He’s one of the composer’s.
For the culture 😭😭😭😩🤲🏾😩🤲🏾😩🤲🏾 love from East Africa
Today is not gloomy to me anymore now that I'm dancing to Black motion. Thank you NPR! Thank you for showcasing African music. Keep doing it!
Tabia😍😭😭🙏
AFRICAN is all AM PROUD to be all through this pandemic 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🤙🏽
Indeeed😭😭🔥🔥
We love u❤️
So much talent!! South African music is so underappreciated in the global music scene
big facts
In time. Just remember the majority of our South African music is in our native languages and we don't have a Pigin version like in Jamaica or West Africa. So when it's a hit its a hit ngempela.
It's getting there.. Give it time!!!
Most genres outside of commercial house and hip hop are sadly still underrated within South Africa.
So proud😭 Represeting house music on a another level. This is how we do in South Africa 🇿🇦❤
This is too much 😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
this is our bread and butter
lovin it
Shout out to the backup singers, their energy was unmatched throughout 👏🏾👏🏾
Really nice to hear natural vocals!
I am proudly South African and HERE!!!
I'm from Angola, but I'm your unconditional fan.
Your performance thrills the soul and the spirit. Believe...
love you all. Musically you represent Africa on a level not yet seen. 😭 🔥🔥🔥
Eu também sou um fã, esses artistas são muito animados.
Subscrevo Edson!
The goosebumps on prayer for rain😭😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
After some years a lot of us will come back to visit this and it will still be as good as the first time
Road trip music. This is good. Thank you to the folks at NPR for introducing me to Black Motion.
Search for their live performance at the lap London here on you tube that one surpasses what you just experienced i promise you won't regret
Manyora a Sosha!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How many arms does that drummer have? Good gravy. At times on my screen he was moving so much it looked like 6 arms all in motion.
it’s amazing right? gift
Good gravy😭😭😭
When that drummer spirit takes over
He's a marvel hey :) !
Spirits of ancestors are at play
One thing Black Motion will do, is take you on a SPIRITUAL JOURNEY!! Powerful.
I had never known of Tabia before today😍😍😍. What a talent!!! She killed it too. She very much reminds me of the late Busi Mhlongo. Loved that woman to bits♥
She prayed!! The prayer for rain performance was amazing.
Honestly, Tabia on the last tune took the entire performance to the moon! s/o to AlieKeys, I haven't seen such talent in years!
She probably prayed before this prayer. They are not alone. Powerful
@@KagoM they are not alone . you can feel the energy , I am in love with this entire performance
Goosebumps from Tabia🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽...she reminds me of mam'Busi Mhlongo
Yes!
Brandon, Nokwazi and Tabia 🔥😩😭 wooow man 💚💛 . I'm kinda sad Black Motion themselves didn't throw in their dances but wow man, Imma keep coming back to this many times ♥♥😍😭

South Africa in a nutshell powerful drumbeat and voices all around .NPR you done me proud so proud always representing the vastness of sound.

Amazing drummer..
Msaki has so much potential to be a world star with that voice. I don't think she sees herself in that level
Did you read her music background x biography?
@@tshepomoloi3777 Where can one find it?!😭
Trust me she’s fully aware, she’s where she’s at cause believed from the start, we in a pandemic so we’ll never know where she could’ve been now 👍🏽
@@cooley_za I see. Probably why she came on such an international platform not warmed up and performed with her hands in the pocket like she's leading hymns emlindelweni

Prayer for rain and Imali killed it for Me. Amazing performance guys
