What would your dream music festival be? Which bands would you want to see there? These are two of the questions that every concert lover and music junkie in South Africa has asked themselves at least once and probably spoken about many times with friends into the early hours of the morning. We had been looking very forward to the 'concert singing' part of the Mlungu Trek since before we even left South Africa and we couldn't have asked for much more than ...

This was another real party city famous for its annual Mardi Gras and live music soul. We wereinterested to see how the live music would compare with Austin and we found it to be everywhere.
