Iminyaka engama-35 wusuku olubucayi empilweni yawo wonke umuntu. Kukholelwa ukuthi kule minyaka umuntu kufanele avele ame ngokuqinile ezinyaweni zakhe, azuze impumelelo emsebenzini wakhe kanye nokuphila komuntu siqu. Kodwa ekuqambeni kuba nzima kakhulu, ikakhulukazi emculweni.
Ungayithola kanjani ngqo isiqondiso lapho uzophumelela khona? Futhi endaweni efana ne-jazz, cishe akunakwenzeka ukufezeka. I-jazz yangempela ayikwazi ukufundwa, kufanele iphile.
Futhi u-Esperanza Spaulding ukwazile ukwenza lokho kanye. Uguqule impilo yakhe wayenza ingoma ye-jazz ayijabulelayo futhi ayihlanganyela nabalaleli bakhe.
Bangaki abadlali bebhesi ye-jazz obaziyo? Amagama ama-virtuosos anjengoMarkus Miller, uJaco Pastorius akhunjulwa ngokushesha, odinga nje ukuthandaza eminwe yakho.
Qaphela amagama amadoda. Kwabesifazane "kuma-bass", ugogo kuphela u-Suzi Quatro ofika engqondweni, owathatha amanothi angu-4 kuphela iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amane.
Umdlali we-bassist we-jazz uyinto engavamile ngempela. Kufana nosonkanyezi wesifazane owaya emkhathini. Iminwe esuliwe, izinzipho ezidatshulwe unomphela kanye namalunga ezandla abuhlungu eziphasejini ezinesivinini esikhulu.
Vumelana, akuwona amantombazane amaningi akwazi ukubekezelela lokhu. Uma nje igama lakho lingu-Nadezhda, yilokho kanye igama elithi Esperanza elikushoyo ekuhumusheni. Iyona kuphela indlela abebengabiza ngayo lo mculi onethalente enamaphimbo angeqiwe.
I-Seattle Times Company ibhale ngale ntombazane ukuthi ayinakuvinjwa. Ukudlala kwakhe kumabhesi aphindwe kabili, kuhlanganiswe nokucula, "kuzala" kumdanso otolikayo.
Izintambo ezine zamabhesi aphindwe kabili zinikeza umsindo oyingqayizivele. Ngayinye inesimo sayo esiyingqayizivele nomsindo wayo.
Ukuzalwa kwenkanyezi encane
Wazalwa ngo-Okthoba 18, 1984 ePortland, u-Esperanza ubengumntwana oqinile futhi oqotho kusukela ebuntwaneni. Kwakungeke kube ngenye indlela, ngoba umama, ekhulisa intombazane nomfowabo yedwa, waba yisibonelo.
Intombazane enothando olukhethekile nokwesaba ichaze lona wesifazane onamandla futhi oyingqayizivele okwazile ukwenza izinto eziyisigidi empilweni yakhe.
Usebenze njengombhaki, umbazi, ikhaya lezintandane kanye nomfelandawonye wabasebenzi noCesar Chavez.
Kakade lapho eneminyaka engu-4 ubudala, intombazane yanquma ukuxhuma impilo yakhe nomculo, ngemva kokubona ukusebenza kwe-cellist yaseShayina Yo-Yo Ma. Futhi lokhu kwakungeyona i-maximalism yengane, isifiso sakhe sasiqaphela futhi sibucayi.
Ukubhalisa esikoleni somculo, ngenxa yezizathu zempilo, umculi wesikhathi esizayo waphoqeleka ukuba adlule iningi lohlelo ekhaya.
Ngemva kokufunda amakhono okudlala i-violin cishe eyedwa, ngemva konyaka intombazane enenkani yaqala ukuba nengxenye enkulu ekusebenzeni kwe-Oregon Chamber Orchestra.
Kungaleso sikhathi lapho aqala khona ukuba yingcweti yama-bass aphindwe kabili futhi wasondelana kakhulu nomhlaba we-jazz. Ngemva kokuphothula esikoleni esiphakeme, u-Esperanza wangena eNyuvesi yasePortland, wakhetha uMnyango Wezomculo Nobuciko.
Kodwa ukuqeqeshwa kwasheshe kwaphela ukuhambisana nentombazane, ngoba kwakungekho isikhathi esiningi esinikelwe ngqo ezifundweni zomculo.
Intombazane yaphoqeleka ukuba ifunde kothisha ngasese futhi idlale eqenjini, okwaze yakwazi ukuqopha amathrekhi amaningana.
Efuna okwengeziwe, le ntombazane yathuthela eNyuvesi yaseBerkeley edumile, lapho eminyakeni emithathu yokusheshisa ukufunda yathola iziqu ze-honors futhi yaba uthisha omncane kunabo bonke.
Lapho ineminyaka engu-21, intombazane eqinile yathola isihloko somnqobi womunye wemifundaze ehlonishwayo yomphakathi we-jazz eBoston.

Ngemva kokukhishwa kwe-albhamu yokuqala, abagxeki baqala ukukhuluma ngomculi we-bassist osemusha. Emahholo bekuvela amaphosta anegama lakhe abathandi be-jazz. Idlala ku-duet nomculi we-jazz uPatti Austin, le ntombazane yafunda ukugcina ukunaka kwezilaleli.
Ngo-2008, kwakhululwa i-albhamu yesitudiyo elandelayo ethi Esperanza, lapho umculi we-jazz owayesevele egcwele u-Esperanza enza izingoma ngesiNgisi, iSpanishi nesiPutukezi. Izibuyekezo ze-albhamu zixutshiwe.
Konke lokhu akuzange kuvimbele umculi ozimisele ukuba ahlanganyele emikhosini ye-jazz, aze abambe iqhaza emcimbini weNobel Peace Prize.

I-virtuoso string solo yengeza ukuguquguquka komsindo. Kodwa akufanele sikhohlwe ukuthi lolu chungechunge lugqashuka kalula.
umculi namuhla
Kuze kube manje, u-Esperanza usaqhubeka nokuqopha ama-albhamu, owokugcina wakhululwa ngo-2016, manje basebenzela i-albhamu entsha futhi benza ngendlela ejabulisa ochwepheshe nabalandeli be-jazz yangempela.
