For many artist, Europe seems to be the utopia of reggae and to some extent it is, as it not only caters for all genres of music but diversely to a big audience and so with the tour coming to an end Etana and Mykal Rose certainly made Austria apart of their European tour all thanks to Bun Fire Squad.

The opening of the "Think Art" exhibition took place at the Welt Cafe Vienna, which drew art lovers from around the city who attended the event.  Brian Senorfe a Ghanaian born artist has honed his skills, perfecting his skill at thread art. For many this might not be a technique of art that is commonly seen, as it has its own disciplines of patience in each piece of work that is done. Having spent time with Brian at his studio, one had the opportunity to acknowledge how much patience and discipline goes into each of these time consuming pieces that are rendered into the art works and the way that we get to see them.

Just going down memory lane reminiscing on the last 2 months filled with activities the Akaryoshye - East African Party was just one of many events that stood out. Younger crowd, great music and diverse group of people.

The third year of Roots Music from Southern Africa right here in Vienna Austria. A beautiful line up of African artist staging performances that one rarely gets to see. This brought the night to an absolute hault, as if one were seated in a venue somewhere back in Africa and time just waited on this moment.

Afro poetry Cafe, a platform that many of us looked forward to, turned out with a good attendance being the first gathering. There are certainly poets who could write to order 20 page speeches in 20 different kinds of verses.… There are very few poets, however, who could write them all with such easy grace; and I doubt that there are any other poets who could pack these intricate forms with so many ideas like the ones who expressed their own written poetry and recited poems with such sentiment and passion at the Afro Poetry Cafe.
