    No time for the customary loquaciousness, but we saw
    femi and the afrobeat explosion on friday. as loud
    visually as musically, huge sound, and the guy can
    wail on his saxamaphone for like 5 minutes straight
    without taking a proper breath... he does that thing
    where you inhale through your nose while you exhale
    into your instrument. crazy to watch! the jams
    occasionally got a little tedious, but the energy
    coming from the stage was so powerful it was tiring
    just to watch, and the crowd was diverse and involved.
    He also said a few words about the state of things in
    Africa and how hard it is to survive. I think we
    forget sometimes, and romanticize the soul that's born
    of poverty, forgetting the damage poverty does to the
    soul.

    anyway, great show!
