Duo Komarimbar

Here’s one especially for the neighbours (quoted from the band below)
Tonight we popped to our local bar. When I say local bar, I mean one of the three bars on our street corner. This time we tried the bar we haven’t yet stepped foot in and it’s a good thing we did, as it’s my favourite pub to date. Let me set the scene: candles instead of lights, every chair is different and every table too. Various benches and mats are dotted around… typical bar in Berlin then (hehe)…
We had heard there was some African live music and anyone who knows me knows my heart is in Africa and I will do anything African related I can find. It was a band of three members, two long-standing players and a stand-in bass player. The lady was playing the kora, a string instrument similar to a hand-held harp from West Africa and the man was playing whatever he could get his hands on: from the xylophone to shakers to stamping his feet to drums, often whilst singing and dancing.
We turned up at the end of the music set, very late (mainly because our cutlery drawer won’t open… nightmare…) and we were told we had made it just in time for the last song. Lucky for us, the band were having none of it. They played another two songs and the kora player said they would have to stop because of the neighbours. The dancing man said he had a few songs especially for the neighbours and then continued to play two more songs. It was hilarious. The Las Vegas Tango got a few in the crowd giggling and then when they were told it was game over, they played another song. It seems in Berlin, when they say they have to stop, really they are just beginning…
