Alliance Francaise was on Friday home to a night filled with finger works. They called it Guitar Night. The artistic marriage between the guitar and the exceptionally poised finger tips that made the night the guitar one put forth awesome performances. The night took off with a French poem dedicated to the lives lost during the January Haiti earthquake.

The poetry went to waste; one could see that the majority of the spectators did not get a word; as no reaction was visible. At that point a marketing opportunity was presented, as the master of ceremonies (MC) who could roll her tongue the way Napoleon Bonaparte did his, aired an invitation to the audience to learn French 'the French way'.

Nonetheless, solo guitarist Solly Sebotso's beats got the audience talking. Yes his fingertips were talking in the vernacular. The crowd could not resist him third song entitled The Mascom Number.

The song is about the unavailability of a Mascom mobile operator phone from air or out of reach at the moment. He does that beautifully. Callers could not loss patience if Sebotso's voice is what they could get when a Mascom number is off air.

The night got its momentum when a group by the name Seragantswane joined fingers with Kabo Leburu. The result was a sensational scene that filled the atmosphere with joyfulness. Every musical instrument did what it does so well, and loud enough to reach out to Haiti. Then followed the legendary guitarist's band; Setampore as he does not do it alone nowadays.

He did it for Haiti that night. Before starting the performance a message from him was read; 'come, I don't come, sir I don't sir'.This is naughty, is it not?

He got the audience swaying their assets in appreciation of the sound the band produced. The Guitar Night was organised by Alliance Francaise, a worldwide network whose aim is to promote cultural diversity to raise funds for the Haiti victims. Orange sponsored the event, with Rodizio Resturant taking care of the audience's appetite.
