We had amazing moments, interesting talks, exchanges, dialogues, presentations and concerts. I feel honoured to have spent so much time and exchanged with all musicians, composers and curators. It was a unique experience that will surely lead to more projects and collaborations.
You can be sure that I will make a massive update of the database soon : /african&asian_database.htm
Tomorrow I will fly to Athens, Greece, where AGF and I have been invited to organise a workshop and we will both perform in the end of the session at KET - https://polychorosket.gr/
