Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Strathmore, 1/30/2015

Really enjoyed the show at Strathmore last Friday night – good seats, which was fortunate because the performance was much more visual than we expected (you have to be able to do more than sing to join this ensemble!). Wondered whether or not they would do anything from Graceland – they didn’t in their first set, but started off after intermission with the first part of “Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes” and later did all of “Homeless”. Other highlights included “Long Walk To Freedom” and “Rain Rain Beautiful Rain”. We decided to arrive early and eat at the Strathmore café; the prime rib was quite good.
