Asean Toyota tour with BNO, Vasco Vasiliev and Pamela Tan-Nicholson

That had been incredible weeks playing concerts in the most amazing places I would never dream of seeing. Begawan, Manila, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Vientiane, Phnom Penh and Saigon. What you bring out of such an intensive time beside the smells, colours and so many fascinating moments? You bring the memory of the sights of people. Those who live in squats in conditions that we cannot believe and still they smile to you with happiness. Those who were from such a different culture not understanding anything you are doing but being fascinated by the music. Those who open to you giving you their own culture as if it was a bowl of rice to share. And those who do give you the bowl of rice even though they will maybe not have any tomorrow. Finally, between the pack of Russian Market’s clothes, coffee, spices and tiger balms, you discover you have brought a change in your sensitivity.
