​Last Saturday, July 15th, ​South African Tsidii Le Loka gave an electric performance of her show 'To the Rising Sun' at the Bronx Music Heritage Center (BMHC). In celebration of Nelson Mandela's birthday (today, July 18th), the show featured the words of Mandela and the music of singer/activist Miriam Makeba. It was a standing room only crowd. The event was exceptional.

You'll know Ms. Le Loka as the original Rafiki in Broadway's the Lion King - for which she was nominated for a Tony - and the voice behind 'Circle of Life.'  Not only an extraordinary singer, she is also a full-service entertainer: vibrant, engaging, humorous.  She's backed up by equally talented singers and musicians.  When you get a chance, you must see this show. You'll not be disappointed.
I was the photographer for the event. Below are a few images. You can view more on BMHC's Facebook page.
​To the Rising Sun is part of the monthly Bronx Rising! series at the BMHC. Check them out. They have great programming and most of the events are free!
