Hi Jessi,
This concert was pretty interesting =)
Thanks so much for the invitation, i enjoyed the african music, especially since it was my first concert of this kind.
I’ll bring the pics I took in that concert soon, so you can have them too ;)
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Diana, and I really look forward to the pictures!
I have to admit, I still prefer a more danceable concert, like Orchestra Baobab does, but I thought the music was beautiful. Habib has a lovely and resonant voice. His guitar playing is unique. He’s not too shabby to look at either. ;-)
No chair dancing, sadly. However, I was tickled by Habib’s one song in English. He expressed heartfelt concern and appreciation for the world. When he sang the line “I like technology, I like the Internet,” I couldn’t help a smile!
