If you happen to find yourself in Swazi (you know, Africa?) and in the need of some great Blues Harp action stop by at the Mbabane Theatre Club Saturday night.

The Swazi Observer: "THE Alliance Francaise will on Saturday host 'An Exceptional Blues Concert' at the Mbabane Theatre Club.

The show will feature Tao Ravao, a Malagasy polyvalent string instruments bluesman who will be accompanied by French Vincent Bucher on harmonica.

"We are pleased to be hosting the two musicians who are among the best in Africa," said one of the organisers. He added that the musicians have been playing together for 18 years, with their crossbreed blues mixed with influences from Chicago and Madagascar, and toured 17 African countries last year.

Admission is E50 and the show will start at 8 p.m. "We have confirmed everything concerning the show and music lovers should brace themselves for a great show," he said."
