Filed in Benguela,Live,Music, July 26, 2010, 1:15 amThe Cape Town launch for ‘Black Southeaster’ has come and gone, and how Benguela did bring the house down. While my own set was admittedly plagued by ill health and technical shortcomings (of the guitarists’ variety, not soundman’s), Benguela wowed the audience with an intricate and ferocious set that set the tone for a very [...]
