Story : Robert Berger goes to Africa

Entrepreneur Ruud Schollaardt asked Robert Berger (Pianist/Singer) from who he is a big fan
to be his travelingpartner for his African adventure along with Muriel Reemers.
These people garantee an extreme African journey. Ruud sugested to weld a piano on
one of the Mercedes/Unimogs (small truck to be driven by a person with a car-drivers license)
and add a musical frame on the route from The Hague to Banjul (Gambia).
Later on in Gambia the truck will be sold and the crew will return to the Netherlands by plane.
The journey starts at 30-11-1998 and ends about 17-12-1998.
(This depends on waiting time at the borders.)
Robert will be playing in several cities along the route (see map) every day. A prognosis can be
found on the concerts list. If its not allowed to play in a certain city Robert will play along while
the car is driven.
