We were only four musicians, but he told us several times about his vision of the Pan African Orchestra. When I met them, there was Nana with his flutes, a piano player and a musician playing bells and shakers. They used to have a musician playing African drums, but he could not take part in the tour. I told them I was also a percussionist, but I had only my tabla drums from India with me. When Nana heard the tabla, he said: “Wow, this fits perfectly into my music!” So they kept me for that tour and a radio session. Later he invited me to London to record in BBC. After that I did not hear from him until 1999. I was in Barcelona in a record store, where I found a CD entitled “Pan African Orchestra”. I recognized it was Nana’s work and I felt so happy when I heard it.
