Voilà … our French friends ‘Les Ogres de Barback’ have just released a beautifully illustrated book for children. It comes complete with a CD packed with music … and we are part of it! The 16 songs tell of stories that happening to ‘Pitt Ocha’, the books hero … in our songs he learns to dance polka!
… after playing in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Amman and St. Lô (thanks everybody for great concerts) we play at the sold out Théâtre de la ville in Paris. We celebrate the fall of the Berlin wall. It's magic!

We were honoured to be invited to play in Amman, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. It was a very special occasion for us, even more so as the concert at the Al Hussein Cultural Center turned out to be “one of those nights!” Thanks to the great audience, and thanks to an inspiring meeting with the Jordanian band Zaman Al Zatar (Sign of Thyme) whom we jammed with. And many thanks to all those who made this special evening happen! ... and here are the photos!
