Another side of Lomé

There is another side to life in Lomé as well. The French Cultural Center downtown organises on a regular base free concerts and other events which are open to everyone. We went to a concert with modern African music on Saturday night. Several groups were performing and the style of the music was very much based on the music of Bob Marley. I had never realised that he had so much influence in this part of the world. The music was good, but the dancing was incredible; those people know how to dance and move their bodies! The public consisted mainly of expatriates and other seemingly well off locals from the upperclass. They were very well dressed and that is something I had not seen before.
