The band consists of seven members: The show consists of a 70-minutes flow of 10 songs in which audience participation plays an important role. Gimo Mendes is well-known for his ability to communicate with his audience, musically as well as personally, and together with his orchestra The music of Gimo Mendes is not what people typically would expect from an African artist. This is primarialy emotional, poetic, romantic, and ambient music, and a beautiful concert experience which has often been known to bring tears out among its audience, regardless whether the language of his lyrics are understood or not. Not because the music is sad, but because of its beauty which speaks straight to the heart. 2007 was the year when Gimo Mendes stepped back into the spotlight after a long break. He published a new album which made him into Denmark’s most appraised African music sensation of the year and which in November 2007 gave him a ‘Danish Music Award’. The 52-year-old singer has lived in Denmark several years, keeping a relatively low public profile while teaching music and establishing a family. Earlier he was known for his work with Peter Gabriel and Real World, resulting in extensive touring in the end of the 1980’s, and he has also been touring with the Danish singer Niels Hausgaard.
