Yeah, it was nice to hear her sign as she doesn't on the album, and
she does have a terrific voice. As I expected she was able to totally
mesmerise the audience (me included) with her wonderfully descriptive
words and actions, which added a great deal to the meaning of her
poems.
We were a bit disappointed that Africa Bambatta didn't show,
apparantly he's done that before (cancelled at the last minute I mean)
