Hahah I got lost on it for a while bruh, I counted it as a 9.5/8 the first time around!
Things are good here in Johannesburg, South Africa, but we wouldn't mind leaving off a piece of land on the coast in few years.
Where are you planning to do your tour?

I'm glad to hear things are well down there, some people told me it can get hard for them to leave their properties in the rural zone due to local gangster activity. I actually meant to do a tour in Africa like a journey not a band tour :) but touring as a band I will do that in the western europe and in the US in the future, now I have other goals more important, but I still record music

I am happy that you talk about it with caution, as most of the info relayed are being distorted.
You will be surprised to see how many countries would enjoy your music throughout Africa so that's why I was welcoming a tour!
Yeah there's crime in rural area, there's crime in the city too but more security, it's a tough life and the police have always their hands full, and can be easily corrupted.This adds to the sense of danger that already exist everywhere.
" it can get hard for them to leave their properties"
We don't own a car, we have to leave our property every day, take taxis (small mini-bus transport), and live a life far away from opulence, so we have never been a target in 10 years we 've been living there.
The only time i got into trouble was in Cape Town after a concert I did, i got punched in the face by a bouncer on coke, and while falling down , some dude took my cellphone, I ran after him , he had a gun, I ran away :)
People wit large properties, big cars, House owners, are more the targets of robberies, and I obviously don't condone these types of behaviors but this is how things are in 2018

Of course I would like to tour one day in Africa as well, I have a whole music project regarding that subject actually :) (the track I've sent you is part of it), it is just that I want to visit Africa and travel for other reasons first. When I start to tour it will be in the West because places like Bristol, NY, Toronto, LA and Seattle have a scene that accepts my kind of music, I actually play a variety of genres you can check some demos I have online here to get the idea https://sensei-archers.bandcamp.com/album/demo-loop-2016-2017 maybe if you are on discord we can connect and chat there rather than here, it is easier

I hope the situation improves in RSA, regarding the safety and the corruption, it has been such a long time that mentalities instilled from way back are disrupting peace among people

Ohhhh that reverb on the vocal "I Put A Spell On You" soooo lovely man i love what you did with it!
Things are improving here in SA don't worry , one thing for sure don't listen to either mainstream media, but don't listen to alternatives media neither, as they all have misguided intentions.
The truth is that this place on earth is as corrupted as anywhere else, to be honest France or other countries are way more corrupted, in different manners, throughout thousands years of manipulation, the people in power in the "First World countries" learnt how to shape history in the shadows, shape the general opinion, shape the world to their own vision and to never get caught!
At least here the mind and the soul of the people are still intact, and yes you will hear people bitching about genocide and focusing on the wrong things.
This where I decided to raise my children for now, this is the earth where my wife comes from and she was fine for 30 years, so who am I to come here and start "SAVING THE WORLD", there's no one that needs to be saved, people breath here the same air than in the northern hemisphere, and this is again misguided intention from me to come here and try to change the way people think.
But I know that you are probably just like me and won't do that...
I actually came here in Africa 9 years ago, to learn how to shut up :) as you can see it didn't work hahah
Man I am listening to every tracks of your album, they're all so beautiful, and I can hear the desire to travel in all of them . I am at "Bright Future Awaits For Us"!, I don't think I am gonna skip any songs, and I should be actually doing something else...This is so good!

Thank you @edprivat I am really glad you like the songs, and yes we are alike. I never could accept and forgive the so called "First World country" mentality, and I'm so disappointed most of the time in people that don't understand the fact that "First world countries" run on the Peruvian (Incan) gold, Arabian oil, African diamonds, and Amazonian timber that were or still are getting stolen and exploited. What are today so called "Third World Countries" were before the colonization more advanced then Europe.
There is so much racism involved even today where people think that it is in the past, fascism and racism are having a silent comeback, all this because some people think highly of a white race, and misread too many ancient scripts.
I am so glad you got your amazing life and your wife down there man, it is beautiful, and as you said I also never read too much or believe mainstream or alternative news, this is why I always ask people personally
