Prompt: Why is the concert so important?

The prisoners’ concert is important because it symbolized unity of the tribes. When Courtenay describes the concert, he uses a metaphor of a puzzle being brought together: “all the pieces would be brought together under the magic spell cast by the Tadpole Angel” (319). The spell describes the power of a leader who is viewed as a chosen one. Peekay’s leadership is the key to the unity within the prison. Even Geel Piet acknowledged and nurtured Peekay’s legend as the Tadpole Angel, claiming that he would, “harmonize in my appearance as their leader, uniting all the tribes in the great singing indaba” (321). Calling the song and indaba implied spiritual significance and associated Peekay with the great chief of Dingaan. Truly the concert revealed that the prisoners were unified not just as inmates, but as a single tribe.
