A dear friend of mine from high school lives in South Africa. I was hoping to jet down there this spring for her wedding but it's not happening. God willing, I'll make it down in 2010 to cheer what's left of the French team at the next World Cup, but until then the Ibrahim/Benjamin family--jazz pianist Abdullah Ibrahim, jazz vocalist Sathima Bea Benjamin and their daughter discerning hip hop fan favorite, Jean Grae-will have to hold me down. My favorite audio blog, Breath of Life has got an excellent post up through Saturday spotlighting this continental nuclear. Check it out!

Your welcome. A few of us caught her when she was at Sweet Rhythm w/ Jean not to long ago. I will try and get a group together for her next gig too.

I saw Sathima Bea Benjamin at Columbia a couple years back and she was a force of nature. Jean Grae comes from some powerful musical roots. Thanks for the link to the article.
