When we got back from the Old Biscuit Mill and had our nap, (wonderful stuff) we headed out to the V&A Waterfront Amphitheater. This is where we saw Black Noise perform.
Black Noise is a rap group native to South Africa that puts on shows all over the area and in Europe as well. The group is made up of Emile Jahnsen (Emile XY), Angelo Van Wyk (DJ Thee Angelo), Denis Houpt (B-Boy Fly D), and Lester Philander (B-boy Lela). All members of the group have kept their birthdays "top secret".
It was one of the most explosive and awesome concerts any of us had been to in a while. There was tons of dancing and jumping around and everyone around us was going crazy. At one point one of the rappers jumped off the stage and started crowd surfing all around. This just seemed to fuel the partying.
While this might not have been your "traditional" African music, it was sure a fun show to go see. Even Carson, who on the way to the show could be heard mumbling, "I don't even like rap music," was having a good time. I think we all were having a good time.
We finally got back to the hotel at 3:30 in the morning, all extremely tired, and headed straight to bed. What a night.
