Sunday is music day in the DRC. I have always heard that this is one of the most musical places in the world, but I didn't believe it to be true until today. A spectacle to behold, our eyes were greeted by theatrical hairstyles and coordinated outfits. One singer had six dancers dressed in short banana yellow skirts with bright red Dolce Gabana tank tops. Both elegant and beautiful each of the dark brown skinned women had her hair done in a similar style. On one of the television shows the presenter(host)--tall, handsome and debonair--wore a purple suit. The beer sponsor logo hung on tarp as the backdrop and seriously clashed with his outfit, but he was sharp.
Lexxus tried to prepare me for our media schedule, but I wasn't ready for the drama of it all. He explained the process of getting on tv and why the artists were lined up waiting to appear. Although, we all of the interviewers asked the customary questions and we performed the obligatory freestyle, I can honestly say that I've never experienced anything like this. World AIDS Day was a theme for each of the hosts and so the topic of HIV seemed to be on the tip of every one's tongue.
Be safe yall.
