This concert was weird. On the one hand, we were in the Cape Town Convention Center. Official!!! We were even listed on their scrolling announcement ticker in the lobby. On the other hand, the seats were not nearly filled and it felt like yet another concert that was poorly publicized.
Whatever, whatever. The crowd cheered out when we started in on "Asikatali" and continued cheering and dancing as we sang "Singabahumba" and "Akheko." They loved it when the Amy Biehl kids choir came out to sing with us. They loved it when the Amy Biehl kids sang on their own. Appreciative audience.
I guess this is what we came here for, but the previous concert at the university really seemed like the pinnacle of meaningful and inspiring. This was just icing.
