Thrilling Nights Live In Durban

Hitch Back In Time With Music Live Groups Durban

Dr Alban and Haddaway played at the Village Green early 1990s. Dr Alban is famous for his worldwide 1992 hit It’s My Life, while Haddaway is best known for his 1993 hit single What Is Love.

Before the end of apartheid if I remember correctly, Winter month making it July/August, with one sick son (with a cold,) both boys would not hear about us cancelling their first live music concert.

Bundled up warm with hats and jackets we drove into Durban to spend a brilliant evening under the 'big top', (large tent with canvas walls) not very well attended by the locals. A night to remember for the few who arrived, Dr Alban and Haddaway gave us the treat of a lifetime, happy and energized we returned home.

'Africa' was written by Toto members David Paich and Jeff Porcaro
Paich explained that the song is about a man’s love of a continent, Africa, rather than being about a personal romance. He based the lyrics on a late night documentary with depictions of African plight and suffering. The viewing experience made a lasting impact on Paich: "It both moved and appalled me, and the pictures just wouldn’t leave my head. I tried to imagine how I’d feel about it if I was there and what I’d do." Source

Toto - Africa

Rich in culture, history, mineral resources yet still live with struggles, poverty and political unrest, no wonder this song tugs at the very being of anyone who has roamed our Continent.

This music post was inspired by the Three Tune Tuesday #TTT concept by @ablaze.
