Zulu Chattanooga
from - smijer
I'll be darned. I found out only this evening, and only barely in time to catch a rough half hour of the performance... but the world famous South African Ladysmith Black Mambazo singers, singing a capella in Zulu and dancing, played a free concert for Nightfall at Miller Plaza in Chattaboogie tonight. I don't know how well known they are in these parts, but there was a huge turnout to see them (to be fair, every fair weather Nightfall draws huge crowds).
They are absolutely, positively, amazing.
Their next two dates are tomorrow in Boone, NC, and Sunday in Greensboro, NC. This means you, North Carolina neighbors (I'm not pinging Screwy H, but I may spam a comment thread with a plug for the assorted yokels of Tarheel country). After that, they are leaving the U.S. for Holland.
Although the camera is now found, I didn't remember to bring it. If anyone has got photos tonight, I'd love you forever if you would share them with me. For now, a borrowed one.

They played here in Morris last spring -- they were phenomenal.

Yeah... what really made my jaw drop is that the Nightfall organizers were able to get them, when they don't charge admission to the events. They always find amazing talent. Friday nights are a real treat her in my little red town.
