Swaziland hosts an international music festival each year at the end of May. I went in 2010 and this year I was able to go back. There were about 25 PCVs from all over Moz who came (in addition to over 17,000 other people from all over southern Africa), and we listened to bands from Moz, South Africa, Swazi, Japan, and the US while lounging in the sun, drinking beer, wandering through the craft stations, and eating as much food as humanly possible. There were fire dancers who stood on the roof of the stage, giant dancing puppets wandering through the lawn, a silent orchestra for the kids, interpretive dancing, jazz musicians, rappers, and oh so many other interesting performances. The highlight of the festival for me (besides the people and food, of course) was Jeremy Loops, a South African One-Man Band. Very interesting guy with a great sound. Look him up if you get a chance!
