At times she does sit and wonder how she came to do such an unusual and at times macabre job.

SAMBA DE mi Esperanza - Samba of Hope is a journey in music and songs from Spain, South America, France, Brazil and -Africa by a multi­ talented musician and singer Pedro Espi Sanchis. • Sanchis is a modem troubadour, an -exotic min" strel who is' a virtu<;>so. on ~ itar, flute 'and other' instruments whose main objective is t'o intrigue his audience with an abundance of musical styles. His ever-present travelling companion is the t acoustic guitar but he is equally at home on a most Gs exotic range of instruments including the central e African Kundi and the Bolivian Charango-harp ln l (made out of tortoise and armadillo snells) not - forgetting a PVC pipe which he calls the Lekolilo tube flute, an instrument plain in design but com­ plex in its applications. In the first part of the show he travels around the - Latin world with songs of love, joy or sorrow, like the one by a Brazilian farmer who has to leave his land because of relentless drought and will not come back again until the grass is again as green as his wife's eyes. Interspersed are songs from Africa making use of a wide variety of African instruments like the Zimbabwean mbira and the Lekolilo tube flute from which he coaxes the most amazing sounds. According to one reviewer "the most astonish­ ingly true flute notes with rhythmic stops,starts, trills and changes of pitch were achieved using lungs, throat and lips at one end and, at the other, by using the right hand as an ' ~nfinitely flexible flap valve". By the, end of his performance, one sud­ denly realizes that this is his life's journey which he' is sharing with us. - prior to his concerts at The Warehouse, Pedro Espi Sanchis will tour Namibia's school to do workshops on the instruments he is bringing and will perform two children's programmes; The Magic Lekolilo Bird and The Music of Africa.
