No surprise to see the highly musical Amalia Hall in this lineup.
What exactly does the “all black” comment have to do with anything?
It refers to Amalia Hall from New Zealand.
The nickname of the New Zealand national men’s rugby union team is “All Blacks”.
Give it your all Amalia 🙂
Amalia Hall is a total STAR! Captivating audiences wherever she goes!
