African Footprint

Mother came in to town yesterday. We had a very nice dinner at Little Italy and then went over to the Performing Arts Center for the most incredible show: African Footprint

Boy, was that GREAT! I highly recommend this show - if you have a chance, definitely go see it.

Here's what the papers have to say about it:

The hypnotic heartbeat of the African drum, the soulful saxophone, and the haunting pennywhistle meld Afro- and Euro-centric music and dance – Kwela-jive, traditional gumboot, tap, contemporary ballet, hip-hop pantsula – into an ‘explosive stampede of song and dance’ that tells the vibrant and diverse history of South Africa.

A cast of 30 energetic performers has created a show so exciting and entertaining that critics have dubbed AFRICAN FOOTPRINT “The Riverdance of South Africa ”
