there's a zulu on my stoop!






When I was told that a South African dance troup was performing in Montpellier, I just had to go and see them. It was nothing innovative, nothing I hadn't already seen, but just seeing the dancers perform and the crowd go wild for people from my homeland was pure joy. Seeing the pride they took in their performance and watching their bodies move to the sounds of the drum gave me a little chill and for a slight instant I felt like I was home!

Idan Raichel Project

I'm very greatful to my friend and flatmate for introducing me to Idan Raichel, an Israeli musician who sings in amharic . I absolutely love his voice and musical skills!
