"I had a wonderful experience attending Roots Music from Southern Africa festival in 2012 and 2013, it was my first time to be in Austria and to perform in Austria. I found the people very welcoming and they loved my music very much. Roots Music from Southern Africa is a festival that gives opportunities to musicians from Africa and other parts of the world to meet, perform together and share ideas. This festival acts as a springboard for African musicians as it exposes musicians to an international audience and this opens up new avenues for us as musicians. This year 2014, in summer I will be touring Austria with my band as a result of the opportunities I got while performing at Roots Music from Southern Africa festival."

"Was mir besonders gefallen hat: Die Herausforderung in einer völlig fremden Sprache auswendig zu singen. Die Herzlichkeit mit der uns AmateurInnen diese sensationellen Musiker begegnet sind. Die Begeisterung, die dieses Konzert im Publikum auslöste."
