Enjoy this lovely video of the Cape Town Goema Orchestra playing Benjamin's "Music." One of my great regrets is not speaking to Sathima despite being in the same room on UCT's campus after a performance by Abdullah Ibrahim. After taking the time to appreciate Sathima's approach to song, sometimes I think I made the wrong choice by focusing on Abdullah Ibrahim as my sole South African jazz artist. Oh, and how could I forget that just weeks after I left Cape Town, Sathima performed in the intimate (and somewhat cramped) setting of Tagore's. To hear the original, click here.
