Dar es Salaam, Feb. 15 -- DAR ES SALAAM: A lady bassist simply known as Afande Vero was a major attraction when Air Jazz (Anga Anga) entertained the audience at Travellers Park Bar in Mbezi, Dar es Salaam during Valentines music night.

A cool breeze from the Indian Ocean chilled a spacious bar as Afande Vero, in Valentine attire, efficiently thumbed well her Badaax headless bass guitar when supporting Rashid Sumuni, the bands lead guitarist whose 4-octave solos carried the true colours of the lovers night.

The presence of Afande Vero, whose name is Veronica Haule, was most intriguing as dance music didnt involve women instrumentalists during its reign four decades ago.
