It just goes to show you are never too old! Last night I went with my daughter and her boyfriend and his dad to see Y'ousou N'Dour and stood and danced the whole time. I didn't know I had it in me! It was so fun. It was a huge theater and there was such an inclusive atmosphere and so many people from Africa there that it felt like the United Nations enclave. Before the concert, we went to a nearby pub and had beer and hamburgers. But for dessert everyone but me shared "Bacon, Eggs and Toast", which was this bread pudding dessert in a ceramic cup that had chunks of bread, chocolate, bacon and an egg on top! It wasn't sweet, and my taste was amazing. It was the strangest dessert I've ever tried!
The opening act was Angelique Doro, and she was terrific. She had a bunch of women on stage dancing with her. Her message was peace and love and we all felt it. I love the drums and percussion in African music. It's like feeling and hearing your own heartbeat. I won't forget the night, and will play the songs at home, probably dancing with the dogs. Today seems pragmatic, but last night was magic.
