Music: Bheki Mseleku

Just in case it isn’t already obvious: I select these music videos for the music — not the videos! This was a particularly uninspired and often irrelevant collection of images someone selected to run alongside Bheki Mseleku’s wonderful piece “Angola”. Mseleku died young at 53 and never achieved the fame he greatly deserved as a truly outstanding musician and composer. In his obituary, John Fordham wrote: “It was almost as if Mseleku wanted to become music itself, rather than a practitioner of it.”
