Well, what a city! I'm loving Mexico! It's been a real treat to be able to have a few days to acclimatise before the beginning of a three-week tour. To be able to hit the ground running ahead of tonight's show is a very positive thing. In amongst seeing some extraordinary sights, we've had a number of media engagements as you'll have no doubt seen. This morning was especially fun when Johnny, Jules and I spent an hour with a local radio host (with a rather large following on Twitter, I might add!), Martha Debayle. We weren't expecting to have to perform without the other half of the ensemble but somehow we were persuaded to sing extracts of Arirang, Contigo Aprendi, Little David, play on your harp, Blackbird and even My Favourite Things! It was hilarious and we've given Martha and her husband some comps to come along to tonight's show so I hope they enjoy it!Upon arriving, I went and stayed with some friends, Catherine and Rob, from Wellington, NZ at their apartment in the really cool suburb of Roma. There are great eateries (not uncommon in Mexico City) and shops. To be honest, just hanging out and hearing the dulcet tones of a fellow Kiwi was a great way to get over jet-lag and also have time to prepare for the upcoming tour.Yesterday, after the Google Hangout, David, Johnny, Jules and I went to the National Museum of Anthropology. It's quite an extraordinary building, both itself as an architectural masterpiece and the collection of the entire history of Mexico. You could spend days in there so we had to be selective in the couple of hours we spent walking around. We focused on the Maya, Aztec and Teotihuacán exhibitions.Fast forward to tonight's Postcards programme. I think the audience are going to appreciate being taken on a trip around the world through the songs we've chosen, from the Western Cape of Africa to China, Europe and back to the Americas. It's my first visit to this country and I'm looking forward to performing some popular local songs – no doubt they'll be well received!Hope this finds you well, wherever you're reading this. It's rather sunny here, sorry to gloat!Bye for now...
