Sahara escape

It was good to escape the cold and rainy Monday with some amazing Sahara blues in Korjaamo, one of my favourite places for live music and other cultural action in Helsinki.

Two hours of Tinariwen's music from Mali transported me to a cool night in the Saharan desert. Me dancing with some bedouins around the fire.

It was sleeting the next morning and the memory of Sahara blues was already fading, and today I saw the first sign advertising glögi, the spicy mulled wine served in Finland before Christmas. Oh dear, time is flying.
