The final event in Music Africa's Black History Month series at the Gladstone Hotel was a great musical night... appropriately for the night's theme: "African Divas: a tribute to Miriam Makeba".

Featuring some of Toronto's greatest African women singers: Katenen "Cheka" Dioubaté, Ruth Mathiang, Lizzy Mahashe, and Zaki Ibrahim, plus the South African Zulu sounds of Jabulani.
