It would have been lovely if he had had some brass, but I can understand trying to keep the contingent smaller. <BR/><BR/>He played twice here - I caught him at a park, there was a turnout of about 300 I'd say, which is pretty good for a park which has a<BR/>somewhat unsavory reputation. I spoke to one of my Kenyan friends who said she rarely sees that many East Africans at a public event in town (there's not a huge commuity here).<BR/><BR/>He also played a more formal show at Museum of Contemporary Art, which i was unable to attend, I'm curious to see how that went.zimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680883948443440793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23453647.post-3759838739900895552008-08-25T23:58:00.000+01:002008-08-25T23:58:00.000+01:00I have been informed by the label, Sheer Sounds, t...I have been informed by the label, Sheer Sounds, that the last cd cover on display (with the hat) will NOT be used for the European release.
