I continue to be amazed at the quantity and outstanding opera talent emerging from South Africa. I look forward to the Los Angeles book signing of Metropolitan Opera bass/baritone Musa Ngqungwana at Baldwin Hills Branch Los Angeles Public Library 2:30 PM Saturday March 28, 2015. Musa will share information about "what does it take for any child to overcome the debilitating effects of discrimination and impoverishment."  Thanks, John  [John Malveaux]
