Of today for a photo shooting in Essen, where friends celebrate their anual african drum festival.
This is a collage from last years festival.
Fancy again, so to say (the 'fancy' collage was from last years festival too).
Think I won´t be back before sunday, so enjoy the weekend everybody.

The song is in memory of one of the greatest voices not only in world music, 'Mama Africa' Miriam Makeba.
Miriam Makeba died on 10. November 2008 at the age of 76.
Pata Pata was her world wide hit in the sixties, and the first african song I ever heard.
I saw the news just today, and it really makes me sad.
Hope there is something in memory on the festival too.

PATA PATA
(MIRIAM MAKEBA)
