"Unfortunately, it's not an African scene... The most important scene for me was the scene where I played with Maceo Parker , James Brown and there were more than 70,000 people in front of us. They bought all my CDs and at the end of the concert, they took off their t-shirts and asked me to sign on their bodies with permanent markers. The scene happened in Denmark. Another unforgettable memory was in Belgium when I saw children paint their hands blue and they made a line from the stage to the dressing room to wait for me. While I sang in Eton, in Fang, in our languages, these children shook their hands to tell me that I had given them the opportunity to think that there are no colors among humans. Culture has no color, it's the vibration that we give to the other that counts."
