    After two hours of workshop at Vacant, Dick El Demasiado went to Tokyo’s congrescentre for Lost Keys,Highti. He worked three hours, drank some japanese beer, and there it was, the monosexual “JAPANUMBIA_thefirst”. You can check a video here, and download the produced Japanumbia song (a first mix) for FREE here.

    The workshop was at VACANT in Tokyo. Highti, Vacant, Forest-Limit, they are all wonderful little artists-run-nests in Tokyo. The 25 participants at the workshop were sitting on these cushions.

    It is good to say that my brother Dick started all his Japan-shows of the tour with this JAPANUMBIA_thefirst . Yes, my hermanito is fast, I admit, faster than me when I work at the archives of the Antropologia Nacional.

    Did you see the photo of the father and daughter down on this very same page ?

    Then the day afterwards my Hermanito played Live at Dommune.com, run by the great artist Ukawa. It seems it had great impact, the show, thousands followed the show, and all has been recorded, image and sound, for a possible archiving. People came to the shows after having seen the UStream. This girl-fan came driving 4 hours to Kyoto to see the show, 4 hours, and the next morning she had to go to work at 8.30 again.
