Beautiful Singing and Funk
 
Concert review of Tchando and his band at an outdoor concert in Kridthuset the 20th of August 1999.
The reviewer wrote: Beautiful singing and funk.
"Tchando and his band really did their best and understood well how to make the music swing. The concert consisted of songs composed by Tchando, inspired by his African background, about the beautiful Africa, about friendship and persons from Africa. It was beautiful songs delivered by Tchando and his band full of joy and energy with the abilities to deliver the music fully. What started as a concert where everybody listened, ended up in a big dance party. It was absolutely impossible to sit still for that kind of music. A musical event absolutely outstanding."
