Our penultimate night at the Vienne Jazz Festival and it is Mother Africa night. The Mahotella Queens have been together since 1964 and the three remaining members have a combined age of over 190! However their pulsating rhythmic set blew away all the years and they performed as though teenagers at their first party! With a small band (Guitar, Drums, Keyboards) their songs and dancing made a wonderful spectacle, and all too soon they were gone.
The second half of the evening featured a homage to Miriam Makeba by Angelique Kidjo and guests - Through interspersed narration it highlighted events and moments from Miriams life and featured her best known songs.

So to tonight our last night at this wonderful festival and what better way to end than Diana Krall and her husband Elvis Costello!
