Tcha Limberger

Tcha Limberger was born into a family of musicians. His grandfather was violinist and his father a guitarist. He started playing in his father’s band “De Piottos’ first of course and later became the rhythm guitarist of Waso. When he was seventeen, he started to play violin, inspired by stories of his grandfather, and recordings from Hungarian Toki Horvat. He split with the Orchestra De Piotto’s, and made a trio with his father Vivi and his uncle Bisque Limberger. A year later, they started a band named “Romani” with Koen de Cauter and two of his sons Dajo, Viv. (excerpts from lejazzetal.com)

I was working years ago as a barman in a restaurant which had live music on fridays and saturdays night. I met there almost all the jazz musicians from Belgium and many other world music people, it was funny! So, all this to say it was then I came to know Tcha Limberger: he was playing with Waso, Koen De Cauter and children band. He’s blind, sometimes it take people a time to remark it. I remember one night, during the break, he asked me a straw and a pair of scissors, and he started to make a flute out of the straw! Just to say he’s a wonderful musician and a very nice man, and I was happy to catch him at a friend’s party!

Full Moon

Full moon on Brussels

Full moon on Brussels

Last night (Wednesday) was the full moon, so I streched out of my roof window and took this picture… The 70-200 f2,8 Philippe (Photo Ali rocks!) lent me is very handy and a great lens (even without the IS) by the way! So finally I can shoot the moon, have some precision and not only a burned spot!

Rouge Festival

April 2nd, 2009

Last Sunday (28/03/09), the Socialist party organised a meeting which was followed by an afternoon of concerts and animations just by the Place Flagey in Brussels. I’m really not in politics but I have to say they’re good to organize events! And with luck, the weather was sunny, which helped to gather people…

Elio Di Rupo, the Socialist party president, opened the meeting, and other political celebrities such as Nyrup Rasmussen, Martine Aubry, Jean-Claude Marcourt… (didn’t memorized them all) made short appearences between the performances.

I had the pleasure to see my former capoeira instructor, Bras, who was there with his Bloco Sampoeira, a mix of capoeira and samba music, with all the drums. I also came to know the Don Fiasko, a Balkans electro brass-band… Not sure they came for the Balkans, but their music definitely ! Both made people jump and laugh! I unfortunately couldn’t stay to see Marka and Laurence Bigot’s “Monsieur et Madame” performance… Next time!

So, if you want to see the pictures in larger size, just go on my homepage!
