Reinhard.. I have watched Giovanni's podcast tonight ! Mañengue and his son have been my friends since I was 19... I'm 65 now... I ... love them as my own family. Giovanni is one , if not the most talented musician I have ever met... I respect him more than I could express... He showed me why and how and because... respect is so important in this world... in this Universe !

Dear Reinhard, what to say..... It is an immense pleasureto see both of you there sharing your thoughts! first of all Reinhard I have read on of your "TAKETINA" book in the late 80's when I lived in Germany, your Koeran experience healing and mistik touched me, the Taketina approach helped me a lot to understand my body to heal myself, to understand Rhythm, to understand the whole world in fact!!! Thank you for that, thank you so much. then I remember reading it sitting in my caoch and listening to Giovanni's fantastic druming at the same time, back in time!!! Today I discovered your Channel and I found you both in my LIVING ROOM!!!! it is really amazing!
