I am very fortunate and honored to have the privilege of playing house concerts in people's private residences. The idea of a house concert is that a host will have a living room space or somewhere that would suit an acoustic concert, and then invite friends. Most of the house concerts I do are set up through couchsurfing, and so they become also couchsurfing meetings for the local hosts and traveling surfers to attend. I already had played a wonderful concert in Prague at my friend Rolf's place, and this one in Berlin was the second of the tour. I still have two more to do, one tonight in Antwerp, Belgium, and in two nights in Bordeaux, France.
While I was honored to have such a great audience for my concert, the best part of the evening, for me, was meeting all of the locals and travelers from so many different countries. Enjoy the pictures from the after party...
We decided to have an international guitar exchange, and so everyone who could play anything at all was required to show everyone else something from their country. This crazy Ukrainian guy sang some rowdy Russian songs. Other nationalities I can remember sitting around this circle: Indonesian, Bulgarian, South African, and of course, German.
Hearing some German children's songs!
Sophie packing some strawberry flavored tobacco into the hookah, while Alice watches in amazement.
At the end of the night, and Fachreddin is ready to pass out.
