Resistance, rhythm and freedom: The jazz drummer who beat the odds in apartheid South Africa
Louis Tebugo Moholo-Moholo was born in St Monica's Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa on 10 March 1940. He'd not have appreciated that introduction, once chastising an interviewer: 'Ah, no! My name is this; I was born by the river? You want me to start like that? You want me to do all that stuff?' In fact, asked by another journalist to reflect on where he came from, 'he immediately slid into the power salute of the anti-apartheid movement'. Those two responses sum up the drum master who died on June 13, 2025: a self-effacing but defiantly straight talker with a deep grasp of the politics of the music work – playing, composing, teaching – he devoted his life to. Early years But for the sake of the record we need to do some of that stuff. Like most South African families, his had travelled: first from neighbouring Lesotho to the diamond fields of the Free State province and then, as in his father's case, from there to Cape Town in search of better employment. His family wasn't musical (though he recalls his father occasionally playing piano) but enjoyed music. His father would tune in to broadcasts for the then-British naval base at Simonstown, where the young Louis 'liked what I heard – Ted Heath, Big Sid Catlett – and later found out it was jazz'. He was drawn to rhythm from an early age, excited by the beats he could create by banging the family sink with sticks or rattling his ruler along a fence on the way home from school. Watching the Scouts marching band, he recalled: 'It used to fascinate me the way the cat on the big bass drum used to swing that thing and play boom-boom-boom. I would play on top of a tin can just imitating…' Eventually he was admitted to the Mother City Junior Scouts Band, playing the kettle drums. 'But they got taken away because the scoutmaster said I was playing too much. I was unruly – but I had tasted the real thing and now I couldn't leave it!' 'Self-taught' – the term many obituaries have used – had a particular meaning in apartheid South Africa, where Black learners were barred from formal music schooling. Moholo-Moholo tried visiting the University of Cape Town to find out about music classes 'but the guy (at the gate) wouldn't even let me get into the premises'. So 'self-taught' for musicians under apartheid actually meant being schooled by senior musicians within the community. There he observed people playing traditional and more modern popular music, like kwela and mbaqanga and began to learn from experience. The first band he joined was the Young Rhythm Chordettes and he gigged around Cape Town with many other musicians. Veteran drummer Phaks Joya was his first jazz rhythm mentor. In and out of jail Moholo (who double-barreled his surname later) came to national consciousness after joining tenor saxophonist Ronnie Beer 's group the Swinging City Six. At the 1962 Johannesburg Cold Castle Festival, the 22-year-old Moholo tied for drum first prize with Early Mabuza, already reckoned the top jazz drummer in the country. Preparing for the festival solidified his relationship with pianist Chris McGregor. Moholo was arrested and sent to jail under South Africa's infamous pass laws. McGregor found out and helped get him released. They got into McGregor's car and headed straight for rehearsal. That typifies how apartheid was stifling movement and creativity. As a South African jazz researcher I have often focussed on this period. Racially mixed groups could not be on the same stage (Moholo-Moholo often had to play behind a curtain). Being caught without a pass (ID document) after dark meant jail. Under states of emergency, gatherings of more than four people (including rehearsals) could be counted conspiracies – and playing for political gatherings definitely were. His kit was smashed up more than once by the police. Play Like many of his contemporaries, Moholo-Moholo broke all the rules regularly. As a result he was in and out of jail. At one point he was handed over to a potato farmer to serve his sentence through indentured labour. ('I was sold, man! Can you believe it? Sold!') McGregor, a white South African, could sometimes evade restrictions when playing in black residential areas called townships by putting polish on his face and pulling his cap right down. But that trick couldn't work the other way round when they needed to play in white areas. And that's why, when Moholo-Moholo and McGregor co-founded one of South Africa's most famous jazz bands ever, the Blue Notes, they chose that name. It wasn't simply an allusion to cultural ties across the Atlantic. They were blue. They played all the notes. Apartheid left Moholo-Moholo with a righteous, lifelong fury against injustice, but not bitterness. He always saw beyond race. A legend is born The next part of the drummer's story – the band's invitation to a French music festival and the extended, often precarious sojourn of its members in Europe – is well documented. Two aspects drew Moholo-Moholo to the improvised jazz and free music scene in Europe. The first was that it chimed with African heritage music: 'We don't count 1-2-3-4-5 and then play. You just pick up your horn or whatever and then you blow. And everyone else just chips in.' But the second was the politics: 'I just wanted to be free, totally free, even in music … It's just so beautiful. 'Let my people go!' … It's a cry from the inside; no inhibitions…' Moholo-Moholo's South African passport was withdrawn because of his anti-apartheid activities. Exile overseas wasn't easy. He famously observed: 'If I could be born again and know I'm going to come to be in exile, then no way (would I take up music), because exile is a fucker.' The South Africans worked intensely hard, but still met racism. The commercialisation of the western music scene depressed him. He had to play to pay the rent, rather than to play free. It's impossible to fully map Moholo-Moholo's distinguished European career. There are close to 100 recordings, as leader, collaborator and sideman. He led and worked in jazz groups including McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath and founded Viva La Black. There were the short-lived Afro-rock project Assagai and too many collaborations with big name jazz artists to list here. Moholo-Moholo was acknowledged universally as a pioneer and lion of the international free jazz scene. His early drum heroes and mentors, Sid Catlett from the US and Phaks Joya, were both players with a big, domineering sound. (When drummers do a loud 'ooh-yah, ooh-yah' closing flourish, it's Catlett they're echoing.) Moholo-Moholo took from them that potential for muscular, powerhouse volume. Play But while he could – and did – use it, he was also capable of delicate, intricate fretworks, subtle pulses, gentle conversations with other, quieter instruments. He was a drummer who listened intently to what his comrades on the stand were doing, and offered what they needed as well as what he must say. Through it all, he missed home. When he returned to South Africa from London in 2005 (at first for a festival) he was overjoyed by the defeat of apartheid, saddened that the rest of his Blue Notes family hadn't lived to make it back with him, and optimistic about the future. The South African jazz community welcomed him gladly and respectfully, and there were joyous creative collaborations like Born To Be Black. There were festival headline appearances, retrospectives and honours – including an honorary doctorate from the university whose gate guard had chased him away those many years ago, and national orders. Although local audiences loved him, he was still offered many more overseas gigs and his towering international stature grew. Play And as he grew older, emotionally wounded by the death of his beloved wife Mpumie, and physically weakened by a near-death encounter with Covid, travelling and working (and thus earning) became increasingly exhausting. Official words were rarely accompanied by any practical interest in the day-to-day circumstances of his survival. But I don't believe Louis Moholo-Moholo would want his story to end on that note. He chose to live his life in freedom and resistance because: 'There was a war on and we couldn't let them win.' Celebrate that life and its magnificent creativity, because he'd probably tell South Africans we still can't taste true freedom

PICS: Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez Step Out for Lavish Reception, Kiss Publicly for First Time Since Wedding
With pomp and pleasure, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez got married on June 27 in an extravagant lineup of events in Venice, Italy. The attendance of industry mates like Bill Gates and Sam Altman upped the status quo of the event, while the guest list included names like Sydney Sweeney, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner brought the glam. Just a day later, the loved-up couple stepped out, waving from the balcony of their hotel and then taking off in a water taxi to what is said to be the last event of their 3-day festivities. Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez Wedding Closes off with Reception The newly married couple waved at the cameras and exchanged a kiss atop Venetian waters. The former journalist kept her accessories to a minimum, letting her presence do the talking. Only a pair of dangly, sparkling earrings and her massive wedding ring adorned her finger. The bride went for a figure-hugging, neck-plunging pink Atelier Versace fit, carrying a black clutch that boasted her new last name on it. Meanwhile, the groom kept it classy with an all-black appearance, going for a tailored suit and black sunglasses, as he looked more happy than ever following his wedding. Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez Marriage Schedule It is said that the couple spent a whopping close to USD 50 million on the nuptials and invited the who's who of the entertainment, sports, business, and political worlds. Starting off with a welcome dinner that saw a washout due to thunderstorms, the spirits of the wedding party were nowhere near dampened as they reportedly continued to party into the wee hours of the next day. It followed the main wedding ceremony amid a forest, where the bride had her two sons walking her down the aisle and her daughter as the maid of honor. The last day will include a party at the Arsenale, marking another private event for the wedding-goers. It is known that Andrea Bocelli's son, Matteo Bocelli, sang at the wedding, while British star Ellie Goulding also held up her end of the deal with a performance. Celebrities like actor Orlando Bloom, who went solo following his split from Katy Perry, Leonardo DiCaprio with girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, Usher and wife Jennifer Goicoechea, Karlie Kloss, Tommy Hilfiger, Oprah Winfrey, Brooks Nader, Ivanka Trump with husband Jared Kushner, and more were also among the witnesses at the ceremony.

'Kisses yes, Bezos no': Protests erupt in Venice over Bezos wedding bash
Hundreds of protesters marched through Venice's central streets Saturday to say No to billionaire Jeff Bezos, his bride and their much-awaited wedding extravaganza, which reached its third and final day amid celebrity-crowded parties and the outcries of tired residents. On Friday, the world's fourth-richest man and his bride Lauren Sanchez Bezos tied the knot during a private ceremony with around 200 celebrity guests on the secluded island of San Giorgio. The wedding, however, angered many Venetians, with some activists protesting it as an exploitation of the city by the billionaire Bezos, while ordinary residents suffer from overtourism, high housing costs and the constant threat of climate-induced flooding. As the two newlyweds prepared for the final party Saturday evening, hundreds of Venetians and protesters from across Italy filled Venice's tiny streets with colourful banners reading Kisses Yes, Bezos No and No Bezos, no War". The demonstration contrasted with the expensive wedding bonanza, seen by critics as an affront to the lagoon city's fragile environment and its citizens, overwhelmed by throngs of tourists. We are here to continue ruining the plans of these rich people, who accumulate money by exploiting many other people while the conditions of this city remain precarious, Martina Vergnano, one of the demonstrators, said. The protest organisers claimed a victory after Saturday's wedding party, which was initially to be held in central Venice but which they said was later moved to a former medieval shipyard, the Arsenale. Bezos donated 1 million euros (USD 1.17 million) each to three environmental research organisations working to preserve Venice, according to Corila, the Venetian environmental research association. But many protesters blasted the move as a clear attempt to appease angry residents. We want a free Venice, which is finally dedicated to its citizens. Those donations are just a misery and only aimed at clearing Bezos' conscience, Flavio Cogo, a Venetian activist who joined Saturday's protest, said. Details of the exclusive wedding ceremony Friday night were a closely guarded secret, until Sanchez Bezos posted to Instagram a photo of herself beaming in a white gown as she stood alongside a tuxedo-clad Bezos. Athletes, celebrities, influencers and business leaders converged to revel in extravagance that was as much a testament to the couple's love as to their extraordinary wealth. The star-studded guest list included Oprah Winfrey and NFL great Tom Brady, along with Hollywood stars Leonardo Di Caprio and Orlando Bloom, tech entrepreneur and philanthropist Bill Gates and top socialites, including the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and their three children also joined the celebrations. The bride and groom stayed at the Aman Venice hotel on the Grand Canal, where Bezos posed for photos and Sanchez Bezos blew kisses to the press. The planet is burning but don't worry, here's the list of the 27 dresses of Lauren Sanchez, one protest slogan read, a reference to the bride's reported wedding weekend wardrobe. It featured a mermaid-lined wedding gown by Dolce and Gabbana and other Dolce Vita-inspired looks by Italian designers, including Schiaparelli and Bottega Veneta. The city administration has strongly defended the nuptials as in keeping with Venice's tradition as an open city that has welcomed popes, emperors and ordinary visitors alike for centuries.
