I’m usually skeptical when TV folks come up to me and say they want to do a portrait caus i always feel misrepresented especially if they haven’t done their research and they keep repeating/asking the same “can we get to meet you” line but Seun did a good job-he actually went out of his way to show another side of me (is that patronizing?) anyways i heard they showed this piece on channels TV in Nigeria. No wonder folks kept on ringing to say they saw me on CNN (i ain’t joking). So enjoy, and thanks once again to www.a24.com

Bantu To Perform @ COP17 UN Climate Conference
The COP17 UN Climate Conference will take place in Durban this year. While the conference’s outcome lies in the responsibility of delegates and politicians, culture and art should also be part of the platform, when delegates in Durban try to negotiate a follow-up to the Kyoto protocol.
The Goethe-Institut South Africa contributes to COP17 with Culture and Climate – a diverse programme of exhibitions, workshops, performances and concerts taking place at various locations in Durban and Johannesburg.
Ade Bantu and his band have been invited to perform on the stage of the Green Hub – where the municipality of Durban has created a space to celebrate during COP17.

The shrine crowd is something else they party hard -taking no prisoners stylee. I’ll be posting some shots of our show later in the week.
