The PSM x Africa Express

Late last month, I was honored to be asked to play at the Africa Express gig in Galicia.

I got a call from Remi two nights before the show asking what i was doing over the weekend.. Before I could even answer he explined that my flight was being booked... So we flew in for the second day of rehearsals which also happened to be show day!

As you can imagine, there were a lot hi-lights, after all this was five hour musical extravaganza, performing to near 100 thousand people! The show featured a bunch of legends, young and old. And was genuinely one of the most incredible musical experiences of my life.

One incredible moment was when the whole stage was covered with musicians from around the world playing along to Rock the Casbah with John Paul Jones, Mick Jones , M.anifest and Damon Albarn.

Another incredible experience was playing a remix of M.I.A.'s Paper Planes with Afrikan Boy, John McClure, Kano, Ghetts and Wanlov; featuring CocknBullKid, Spanish Brass, Jesse Hackett, Rachid Taha and Fyfe Dangerfield. See the video below for a teaser of me behind the kit getting involved in the action.

This was my second show with Africa Express, after playing at their Christmas Party at the end of last year. I can't articulate how much I enjoyed it, and am thoroughly looking forward to the next encounter!

Love is Love, PSM.
