Sometimes it easy to forget how many people we know here, in Europe. In Munich, we encounter a lot of familiar faces and people who we think are familiar. The world seems to get smaller as you travel around it. And when you're traveling with Burning Spear, there are a lot of familiar people to see and perform for.
This is one of the first venues that looks or feels like a club, except it's so much larger than clubs we may go to in the states. It's really more like a concert hall with a club feel.
The opening act is Ndiago Diop, an African singer and band who have a large following in Germany. Their music is excellent and transports you to a place where only good times can result. The make up of the crowd is evidence of the way music is capable of bridging gaps between people... even those that may result from differing musical tastes.
African music has a way of getting people really wound up and that spills over into our show as several people attempt to join us on stage.
