We went to see this amazing big band at Guga S'thebe in Langa, Cape Town South Africa today. I had no idea what to expect but was absolutely blown away. It was like being struck by a musical force - like listening to a record live. This big band play as one - with incredible joy, vibrancy and love for music. I was moved beyond words and even wanted to cry for pure happiness. I don't usually write like this, but I was so moved. If you ever get a chance to see them live, don not miss them. It's a life force experience. I tmade me think of Mr. Hollands Opus. (Eugene Marais)
