3 Questions Meme // Cultural enlightenment

I saw a really interesting concert last night-- the group Fakoli from Mali, Africa, played traditional Malian music on instruments like the kora (a 22-string African harp made from a calabash gourd), the djembe drum, and the dun dun 'talking drum.' The two played with such joy, mangling their English when they tried to explain, but it didn't matter because what they were saying was apparent in their expressions. The drum playing was truly awesome, and the singer, Fodé Sissoko, was just a beautiful man with an awesome voice. It slid up and down such a chromatic scale that my ears could barely catch the individual notes. I only hope that one day I sing with such peace and joy.

And tonight, I have tickets to an Asian dinner tasting. So whee.

Plus, in the realm of freakdom, today in my lesson, I hit F#. The one above the staff. I'm a superfreak, I tell you. I'm superfreaky (yow).
