Vusi Mahlasela at Beloit

This last Tuesday our fine establishment had the luck(well not really luck cause we paid him a ton of money) of having the African pop sensation Vusi Mahlasela come and preform at our campus.

Going into it I did not really know what to expect cause I had never heard of him before or heard any of his music but I was quite impressed. It was kinda of a mix of 50% reggae and 50% African folk music that was 100% enjoyable! Most all the songs were about some kind of struggle in Africa, be it aparthide or tribes getting kicked of their land. He and all the members of his band were quite talented and had a good stage presence. Another nice feature of the concert was all of my hippie got up and started dancing to the music to the side of the stage. It was great to see people getting into the music in different ways.

Afterwards he was handing out signed stickers and selling CD's so everyone who wanted to had a chance to meet him.
