In February, 2008, I was fortunate enough to perform with Mulatu Astatke in Oakland, CA – a fantastic night it was, albeit a soggy one.  It was monsoon season in Oakland, so everyone – the entire band, everyone working at the club, the audience – we were all soaked.  Happily, some of the concert has make it online.  Two short videos are posted here and here [embedding seems to be disabled, so we only have links this time…)

This was also a great moment for me, what with this being my first flight with the AlterEGO.

Best, R.
