Thanks for the link - this has been very good so far, although I do wish African artists were the big headliners.

Loved the engraving on Amadou's guitar; my fave performer of the evening was Angelique Kidjo - and the S. African percussionists, dancers and singers who were "accompanying" many of the big-name acts.

Wish: I'd like to hear Alicia Keys' backup singers as soloists.
