| Sathima at Tagores |
Pure emotion is how Sathima Bea Benjamin is often described.
In Cape Town at the launch events for the African Songbird album this was
reinforced over and over again. On the first night – despite having a cold –
Sathima took charge of Tagores and led us on a special journey to her heart. Thanks
to the good folks at Chimurenga Electricjive is very happy to share with you an
audio recording of that performance.

Come Sunday night we were not sure if she was going to make
it to the Sathima’s Windsong screening. But again we were not disappointed with
her presence and patience answering questions and signing albums into the
night. At the final Vinyl Session at Mahogany’s on Tuesday night Sathima was once again with
us until midnight.

A heartfelt thanks to all those that made the launch events
a big success and a very special thanks to Sathima whose songs and presence continue
to make all richer. (Special thanks to Greg Franz for the photographs)

Just for the record, as the son of a '60s exile in the UK, this blog is the best place on the internet.
