The « The Ladies of Alabama » were on stage this morning in Juan Les Pins accompanied by their talented musicians and what a group they were, so good that I managed to forget that I was sitting or mainly standing up ,in a blistering sun for two and a half hours judging by the crowd’s enthusiam I was not alone on that count .It was two and a half hours of pure transcending sound.
The recurrent theme and key words of the concert were slavery and freedom and the songs intercepted by readings from the Bible or renowned poets and writers such as Kipling « If » ;Martin Luther King, « I have a Dream» .reminding us all of what Gospel is all about.
Placed under the sign of tolerance and brotherly love this concert’s message was a tremendous one of hope,a hope to squash racism and hatred in our modern world once and for all; to allow every man to stand up with dignity and say we are free at last.
« The ladies » sang the gospel songs with a strength and conviction that left the audience no choice but to stand up and join in «Oh , Happy Days ». and « When the saints go marching in » were the final songs but we all felt that we could have sat there for another two and a half hours .and that the musicians were felt the same too.
Thank you « Ladies of Alabama » for giving us all a message of hope and tolerance ,not for sometime in the future but now!
