As the sun disappears, the stars emerge, and the moon rises. African candles know it is their turn to take centre stage, if only for a match to light them. The bright colours that expose them in daylight hide something more colourful and vastly more impressive that can only come to life in the dark of night. Touch them with a lighted match and allow a gentle flame to grow and await the magic that is trapped inside. A glowing flame flickers gently in the flowing air as it burns into the wax, slowly giving life to the once inanimate object. The bright colours, once static, begin to dance as the flame envelops the mass of wax and the work of art fills the air with the essence of dreams. No longer is the room dark and cold as the kaleidoscope of colours dances in tune with the warmth of the flickering flame. This is the dance from the very centre of the cradle of mankind, a soft warmth with an African heartbeat that is only found when the energy fire releases the very soul of Africa.
