Description : Last Tuesday, it was the first concert in France of the famous Zimbabwean guitarist and singer Louis Mhlanga and his friend the producer and bassist Eric van der Wesen. Louis and Erics talk us about their music and songs but also about social situation in Zimbabwe which reaches a summum of crisis presently. Only 2 persons on 10 got a job, the sanitary siutation also worsens ; all of this leads to a lot of Zimbabweans escaping to South Africa to find work and a way to feed their children stayed there ( in January, around 500 of them were expelled a day by the south african police at the frontier).
