Today, we were on our way back to Harare to catch our flight back home the next day when we stopped at a local park because we heard the sound of an amazing jazz band. This jazz band had many instruments that sounded incredible together. For awhile we stayed and enjoyed the music. It was very relaxing and everybody had a good time. After the band fished playing we took the time to get to talk to the lead singer and guitarist. Jonah Moyo was his name and we soon learned about how he shaped the form of jazz music in Africa and was truly an amazing musician. We talked to him for what seemed hours on end. he seemed almost as interested in life in America as we were fascinated in his travels all throughout Africa. Jonah Moyo was born in Zimbabwe. After traveling to Europe, he came back to his home nation to share his love for music. He taught many Zimbabweans how to write and read music. We talked so long it soon got dark and he offered that we stay the night so we could catch our flight in the morning. we gladly accepted and were really excited to get to see his work studio and learn even more about his knowledge of music. He showed us some of the music he was working on and even played a little solo for us. we were all mesmerized by the music's beauty, but soon it was time for bed and none of us looked forward to what would be our last day in Africa.
