Townships

We especially enjoy visits to townships.  Not only are they an ongoing reminder of African history and of serious issues that need to be addressed, some of the most vibrant people and music reside in them. It was an honor to the spend time on Wednesday, May 21, with folks at the Nyanga Arts Development Center, and with musicians in Mannenberg, home to some of South Africa's most honored jazz musicians, including saxophonist Basil Coatzee.

At Nyanga, we were welcomed with a spontaneous concert & dance.  Lonnie joined in on the bass and Saundra joined in on the dance floor!
