Sunday night

Mascato had their first performance on Sunday night. It was spectacular....I only wished I could have sang along too. It was for their Spanish sponsor as well as a bunch of German press and other people. I didn’t really understand completely what was going on but it sounds like this Spanish dude has merged with another guy from Namibia. This apparently means very good things for Mascato. The German press was there because they are promoting a book that is being published in Germany all about Namibia. I guess they had a huge tour and this was their last stop.

I could only imagine being in their place.... You drive out to the middle of nowhere on the scariest one lane road ever. You definitely need a 4x4 to make that trek. There is complete darkness all around you with only the headlights and stars to light your way. Suddenly you round a corner and the entire mountain is lit up. It looked like the stars had fallen from the sky and stuck there, right in the ground. It was absolutely gorgeous. They must have had over a hundred candles in brown paper bags placed all over the rocks.
As you get out of your vehicle and walk down the path guided by a string of candles the marimbas are playing up by the tables for dinner. You slowly make your way up the hill just drinking up all the mesmerizing beauty. The marimbas finish a few songs and suddenly 30 people appear out of the shadows and walk down the slope towards a light and start singing. Mascato looked amazing and completely captivated the crowd with their songs and dance.

....I was just sitting on the side watching all of this happen. I loved watching the expression on the audience faces. They loved every second of it.

I can’t wait till we do our dinner in the dunes again!
