Hi everyone,

Got tickets today to see Vieux Farka Touré and Hossam Ramzy at the Afro-Pfingsten Festival on 12th June - V excited!

Anyone else going?

Depends on the weather, the prices and the programs. I in n recent years often visited the Afro-Pfingsten

Ooh excellent!

Here's a link to the line-up: http://www.afro-pfingsten.ch/liveKonzerte

So it's outside is it?

Will be there on Friday and Saturday. Concerts are Inside.

All other activities such as workshops are outside in the towncenter.

cool thanks, I'll miss you by a day then Prof. taratonga!

Was there yesterday for a while.

We wandered round, soaked up the atmosphere, listened to music at various spots, ate some delish African food, had some drinks and just generally had a good time.

The main highlight for me was seeing a little girl (around 9 months to a year) clapping her tiny hands perfectly in time to the music at one place we stopped at and really enjoying the rhythms. It was a sheer delight watching her.

That is quite normal in Africa and Southamerica...

the Swiss girls don't manage to do it even when well on their 30s ( or in some cases never )

Dude, you're very funny!
