    Hello, Pedro.

    Nice to meet You here :)

    I reply to Thy question:
    I have not found any information on the web confirming the festival this year. So I have called Radka who organizes that festival "Prazske zneni" and she told me that festival definitely will be this year 2008: In September or October. The date will be decided, yet.
    Soon info about it will be available on the website:
    www.alikvotnifestival.cz .

    Dear Pedro,
    Le Reve de l'Aborigene is a goo festival of overtones, didjeridoo and Jew's harp . This year it will take place around July 17, 2008.
    From this festival , surely she will have other contacts in Europe .
    I am not an organiser . So, I don't know what to do .
    she is really an excellent performer.

    The flute!
    - It sounds like the overtone flute with just 1 hole (on the end). It is commonly used for example in eastern Slovak Republic. There it is traditional instrument called "koncovka". :) (from the word "konec" = end)

    I very like it. I did buy one myself. Its tuned in G. But I cant play it well :)
    ciao!

    dear Pedro,
    I am not an performers nor concerts organizer
    I have a small network of local contacts which might help you in the region of Cannes and Nice on the Riviera ... So I can make known your videos around me in the hope that they will fall into the right ears useful to your project .

    I loved a lot how sings Madosini Manqina.

    With the hope that you will find people better qualified than me to arrange a tour of your friend,
    Sincerely yours

    Hola Pedro!
    gracias por tus palabras y pues que bueno recibir mensajes en Espanol de vez en cuando! jeje
    encantado de conocerte a ti tambien y de conocer tu trabajo, ojala podamos intercambiar sonidos si vienes por aqui algun dia o quizas cuando yo vaya por alla ;)
    en cuanto a lo que me preguntas de la flauta, no es Kena, es una flauta tradicional del norte de Colombia que se llama "Gaita Hembra (6huecos)" (hay Macho tambien con 2 huecos), esta tiene un sonido bien particular pues deja sonar el aliento lo cual me gusta mucho. Al final de la cancion en "AHRES" (si es de la que estamos hablando) si hago diferentes tipos de voz y harmonics ;)

    bueno senor, un abrazo y estamos en contacto!

    I was luky enough to witness Madosini's performance during the 5th international jew's harp Conference/festival in Amsterdam in 2005.

    She is GREAT!

    I was lucky enough to perform and wittness at the Reve de l'aborigene in Airvault, last year in 2007.

    It is absolutely FANTASTIC!

    Hi Pedro,

    I would like to thank you for your invitation. I attendet Madosini's performance in Aachen at 12. dec and it was great. It was amazing to here this overtones from this "umrhubhe". She'd done a great performance with a little help from you (beautiful overblow flute) and this nice good looking girl (wonderful singing and awful percussion). Me and Wolfgang Saus where looking for you after the show but it seem'd that you was to busy.

    Have a nice time in Germany, Ralf
  • Pedro ESPI-SANCHIS

    Hello Ralph, I am very sorry we didn't connect on the 12th but I am glad you got to hear Madosini.
    she is great. We are performing for a few more days in various places and leaving on the 21st.
    Thanks
    Pedro
