Concert at Samanké

As the days in Bobo Dioulasso get hotter and hotter, the power cuts become more frequent, and so our first concert at Samanké was not to be.

 

Happily last Wednesday there was power, and after a nice introduction we took to the stage and played songs from the completed album. 

 

 

And so my stay in Bobo Dioulasso came to an end.  With just time for goodbyes and the exchanging of benedictions so important in Dioula, I left for Ouagadougou, and after 1 bus, 2 aeroplanes, and 3 trains found my way home to Cambridge.

Work now begins on the CD artwork and a U.K album launch coming soon!
