Bowled over with the breath of talent, and scope of music - would go see them again.
These guys had great chemistry on stage, very intense songs with intricate melodies. They were in perfect harmony with each other and the audience. They kept it lighthearted by cracking jokes between songs, everyone in the audience seemed very happy. I thought it was really cool that they actually hung out after the show for a long time signing cd's and actually speaking with their fans one on one. I was very happy that I got the chance to not only see them perform but also to speak with them afterwards. I couldn't have hoped for a nicer experience.
This was a unique and captivating concert, featuring three masterful musicians. Their individual styles and skills were highlighted throughout, yet over and over they blended together as if these three seemingly disparate instruments were meant to be together from the beginning. The artists were relaxed, and played and talked as if we were all in a large living room, full of warmth, humor, and beautiful music. Miami needs more superb performances like this. On a cool October night just hours after the weather turned, this was truly a breath of fresh air. I would recommend that the producer/venue management make an announcement that the screens of people's cell phones are huge distractions. People in front of me were using them and it was like having a bright light shining back while trying to focus on the stage. Also, if we were allowed to take pictures (which I saw several people doing) how about letting us know beforehand?
Excellent performance! This instrumentalist are at the top of their game. Great interaction between the players.
Three masters gracefully shared the stage and worked together to produce some amazing sounds, songs in the round, and really relaxing music. It was amusing to hear the quips and commentary of three musicians who really had a high level of respect for each other shining through the whole performance.
Banjo player extraordinaire Bela Fleck went to the western African home of the banjo to link up with the amazing Toumani Diabate on the kora to create an evening of outstanding music. They played new pieces and traditional African pieces together. Each player played solo pieces as well. They closed the show with "Dueling Banjos". It is rare to hear two such virtuosi together, which was treat enough. The instruments blend so well it is no surprise they come from the same part of the world. A rare eveing.
