This is what the concert venue of the following day – Mtoni Palace – looks like, according to tour manager Peter Kuthan’s memory. The Windhund members used the wind shadow of a coral stone to discuss the proceedings for the first concert in Zanzibar on Sunday, 4th July. A good occasion to go through some vital questions, such as which text passages to recite and how to place the musicians within the Palace ruins.
