We’ve been playing here in Dar since Sunday night. Sunday’s performance was AFAR with the Parapanda Theatre Lab.

We met with them earlier in the day, shared music and performed together Sunday night at the University of Dar Es Salaam. » Read more: Playing in Dar Es Salaam

So we’re here in Tanzania.
