Augen zu und durch = eyes shut and go through it (German)

Traveling on your own by bus or train can be a very precious and relaxing time. It generates a pleasant feeling of serenity and euphoria at the same time and it seems like the longer you drive the more weighty thoughts you leave behind. You find yourself watching the world on the outside of the vehicle with the shiny eyes of a child on its first visit in a zoo, pressing its forehead against a thick glass window to feel as close as possible to the fascinating creature on the other side of it.
It is funny how intensely we observe our surroundings, the landscapes and people, when we are aware that the moment is fading away as fast as it had appeared.
Sometimes It is like meditation to have a moment away from the daily routines, duties and responsibilities.
A ride can(re)generate the calmness and energy to get through this.
Open or close your eyes. Escape for a while and come back more lighthearted and present.
Cord Labuhn - Durch <3

augen zu und DURCH..

sleepless night, soulful night (Let's B Mates starter edit)

Ecco il mio Dj set alla serata dellos muertos al Macondo, molto influenzato dal tema della serata cumbia messicana. Il grandissimo maestro delle musiche latine e caro amico Carlos La Bandera ha contributo con delle improvvisazioni di canto, con degli strumenti del messico come flauti e percussioni.
Grazie di cuore per questo momento magico e non vedo l'ora di continuare a collaborare con questo uomo fantastico.
Buon ascolto.
Auf wiederhören,
Benny :)

We got to change the narrative, we got to change our mindset, we got to change the way we live, we got to change many things...!

"We think our solutions will come from Europe, from America, from China, when we understand our problems more as (South)Africa." Black Coffee, Johannesburg, 2013 

In fact, as a german citizen I'm wondering how is South Africa? what is a problem? Are there any problems in South Africa? Are there more than in my country? 
I only have questions and certainly no answers. Before I speak about those issues, I can't do other than let the experts talk. 
So let's listen to, rely, trust and get inspired by South Africans.

P.s I'd love to receive comments with corrections, in case I made a wrong reference to a wrong language or translation.

change the narrative, Mzansi.

I DON'T ASK you to DEFINE, I don't ask you to JUDGE...I don't ask you to have ANY EXPECTATIONS. 

No style, no ideology, NO RULES. 

ENJOY the MOMENT, Enjoy the ACCOMPANY of OTHERS, enjoy YOURSELF. 
Music revokes and generates MEMORIES.

Let's be mates...!
