Yesterday was the opening day of two huge festivals which include amazing cultural events and spectacles all over the city, the Fringe festival, and the Gypsy festival. We started off the festivities with a group called the, "Yellow Sisters." They are four young Czech women who have been touring Africa and writing new music along the way. They sing acapello. I can't even spell it and they can sing it. They reminded me of "Sweet Honey in the Rock" though they had no bass, there were less of them, and they were white, but they sang a song about that too, "Teu-Bah," what the children yell in Africa when they see a white woman. Also they did not sing any songs with even any innuendo of organized religion, atleast in the English songs that they were mostly singing (others were African). After quizzing the audience, they stuck with their Anglicky repertoire, as none of the English speakers knew Czesky and all of the Czech speakers knew English. Oh well, what more can I say, they're smarter than us... oh, and great singers.
