Hello, I am on the way now to Maputo, where I meet up with Helio. On Tuesday we travel to Vienna, visiting Dubai for a few hours. The most exciting about this is, that we will enjoy sunrise on wednesday with a view over Ethiopia. Jah Ras Tafari.

Arriving in Europe we will welcome Tony and Djibra, coming from Portugal and on Thursday Pierre, the I-Man coming from France. We will stay 10 days in the Studio of Donkey Jockey in Ternitz, Austria, where we produce the new Turbodeli and Positivo albums. With the new products we hit the road then touring the rest of July.

One week ago, Darren, Paul and I traveled to Chimoio, Manica Province, on the boarder of Zimbabwe to meet up with Tafadzwa of Africare and a couple of local artist from the region. We agreed to do 4 workshops starting in the middle of September, when we are already back from our European experience… On the Cabeza de Velho, the sacred mountain in Chimoio, we had some experience with a small insect, similar to the Nairobi fly, that made our last week a bit tricky. 8 of the group of ten people got some very strange allergic reactions. But we are looking good again now….
