I like to meet musicians. They are ambassadors of their nations’ culture. The musician with hat (left) is Errol O. Johnson (Jamaica / UK) – on the right side (blond sax player) – he is a refugee from Russia – he (I believe Juri was his name) escaped from the war in Afghanistan, so he spent some years in prison for that failure in Moscow – and is now happy to be free in Germany… in the middle: a female listener of the two, she came from Turkey, selling pearls and diamonds …

P.S.:
step by step I enjoyed more and more the comments of my readers. They often inspired me to dive deeper into a topic. The result now is a print edition “Fragments And Feedbacks” – 100 pages, only words, no photos, a “best of” (so far) out of more than 1,200 articles – if you are interested please visit www.blurb.com: fragments-and-feedbacks

…… popular culture is a wide field of research in Historic Ethnography at the University of Frankfurt/Germany: Goethe University. Not only is it interesting to see what artists produce in their homelands abut also to see where the development goes to in the diaspora. Very often popular artists are better known outside their homelands than back home.
