Europe done felt the T-Dot/Mogadishu/Kingston connection

Our own T-Dot/Mogadishu, Dustyfoot Philospher (aka K'naan) has now concluded his cross contintent treck across Europe with one Damian Marley (yes, son of Jah Marley).
From Sol Guy (K'Naan's manager, Direct Current Media):
"25 days, 20 shows, 9 countries, 2 planes, 3 rental cars, 2 tour buses, numerous taxi's, and one jail cell later and it's all done. What started as a good idea, manifested into reality...we played in front of 30 000 people in less than a month, before we stepped on stage most of them did not know who we were...
We made great friends on this tour, established a creative and personal relationship with a shining star in the universe. Let the story be told. Damian "Jr Gong" Marley is a CLASS act, a humble, massively talented cat with the weight of the world on his shoulders and wearing it like a tailor made suit..."

Damian Marley interview
From Sol Guy (K'naan's manager, Direct Current Media)
"25 days, 20 shows, 9 countries, 2 planes, 3 rental cars, 2 tour buses, numerous taxi's, and one jail cell later and it's all done. What started as a good idea, manifested into reality. Seen it, believe it, and made it happen. Really we could not have asked for more on this tour, every show was sold out, we played in front of 30 000 people in less than a month, before we stepped on stage most of them did not know who we were. Having an opportunity to present what we do in that type of environment is what we live for, at the end of the day it becomes about us, the make it or break it is on us, sink or swim, basically we like those odds. The crew is always down to bet on themselves.
We made great friends on this tour, established a creative and personal relationship with a shining star in the universe. Let the story be told. Damian "Jr Gong" Marley is a CLASS act, a humble, massively talented cat with the weight of the world on his shoulders and wearing it like tailor made suite. His whole team are aces, nuff respect to everyone.
Touring as an opening act is normally challenging, from crowd response to getting along with the headliner. This connection was completely natural, it progressed and evolved into more than we could have expected. It was beautiful ya'll.
This marks the end of the Welcome to Jamrock European tour, however we will continue on to Mali, and Australia so stay tuned and stay zoomed."
