During the week I was the "unofficial" translator for a few presentations by other artists. At the beginning of my own, I asked Walfredo to translate for me. So I spoke French, he spoke Spanish, and then I re-translated into Japanese! Part of the fun we had the whole week.

Sorry I did not have photos of all the people sitting outside..

When I started to drink some water, I heard a little boy say, "I want some water too" I persuaded him to come to the stage, and I gave him his own bottle.

At the end, I was joined on stage by Walfredo Reyes Jr., Paul Mindy, and Nassir Saidani for a short jam.

Director, Philippe Mathias and "assistant" Noelie, announcing the winner of a draw for free equipment.
