In 2002 Hubert von Goisern toured through Burkina Faso! He was and is a musical globetrotter, cosmopolitan and always interested in new sounds and people. On the occasion of his West Africa tour at that time, we were allowed to accompany him to the Semblas in Burkina Faso. An ethnic group that developed its own language on the balafon (xylophone). With Bill Akagora he also found a musical companion on his tour with whom he played some concerts. In the following year, the encounter was continued in Vienna within the framework of moving cultures Favoriten!
