Description:
British boy-band trio BBMak play visitor in this latest volume of concert-travelogues from the Music in High Places series. On the heels of recent productions (sending performers Collective Soul to Morocco, Brian McKnight to Brazil, and Boyz II Men to South Korea), this production--part music, part discovery--finds Mak popsters Christian, Mark, and Ste prowling through busy, open-air markets in the Vietnamese city of Hue, visiting ancient ruins, and catching their breath in a cathedral-like cave in the Marble Mountains. Sure, there's plenty of evidence of the old French and American wars that raged on for decades, but the accent here is on appreciating a now- thriving, tourist-oriented economy, while taking frequent breaks to enjoy the chirpy, blue-eyed soul of our engaging hosts. Well, OK: It's a strange concept, but not at all an unpleasant one. Tunes include "Back Here," "Ghost of You and Me," and "I Can Tell." --Tom Keogh
