This is a post of the opening of the new Goethe Institut in Myanmar:

 That happened half a year before I came there for my first time. 
I still saw Goethe and the Institute Francais collaborate in the same building, elsewhere in Yangon. Also a good neighbourhood, for co-works.

 I post this, because there are some nice and general impressions of Myanmar in short. 

 The band you can see is Hein Tint´s Tasing Waing ensemble together with Tim Isfort (bass), 
Jan Klare (saxophone) and Michael Vatcher (drums).

In 2010 she was working for the Goethe Institute Yangon, organized and created collaborations between Burmese musicians and European musicians. That is how Tim Isfort and Jan Klare first met Thaung Htike .  And that was also how Daphne and Thaung Htike met. Daphne is a very important linking role. She speaks Burmese, she knows the people and their music and she can translate during the process of rehearsing.  Wich is quite important, otherwise sometimes there is no understanding in words and alas no chance to work at musical details.
