This is the weather to have a garden party! Sun on Sunday! I don't know how and where drummer/vocalist Jamal Thomas and his wife Nadine ordered this kind of weather but it worked. It was my first time with Jamal on djembe! We jammed some just before this video, for the people on the party, then spotted this idyllic spot and record a video for YOU. I can see there's still room for improvement as I am rushing a bit and in 0:28 I skipped a beat. Sorry Jamal! I'll give it back to you next time when we do the "falling leaves" edition or maybe the "snow edition"? :-) Still, such a nice caption of jamming in the sun and the peaceful environment of the Belgian countryside.

This is a tune called Kalunga Dance, from my latest album Dark Horse, order it here or buy it at a concert, the next one is Brebl, Nijmegen 1 day after my birthday on 16th of April! Hope to see you there!In this performance, we featured percussionist/vocalist and world citizen Helene Jank. She lived and worked in Brazil for quite a while and I really think it's audible here. I love the way she and the band creates this moment of space within the concert and this is also why - I think - visiting concerts is important because then you get to experience the whole context of the concert. How is the program build up, how does the audience respond and what does music makes you feel.
