Dream life in Africa Dodo meditates every morning
Singer Dodo has arrived in Africa. He is living his dream there: he is traveling from Cape Town to the Ivory Coast in a shipping container that has been converted into a music studio.
"It's going to be summer here, it's 30 degrees, there's a breeze. It couldn't be nicer." Dodo enthuses during his interview with blue News.
The singer is currently in Cape Town. He is traveling across Africa with his shipping container, which has been converted into a music studio. To make music with local artists - and to find his roots, as he says.
He will be accompanied by a camera team. In the end, a documentary film will be made that will be shown in the blue Cinema cinemas. Until then, he will provide blue News with exclusive video material.
Dodo was born in Kenya and spent the first six years of his life in the Ivory Coast. Being back here feels like a "dream life", he says.
Especially having his music studio container here is an indescribable feeling. "I visualized it for four years." Every morning, he imagined the container arriving in Cape Town. Dodo is convinced that his meditation routine has helped him.
Dodo says "thank you" every morning

"Every morning I sit down cross-legged and imagine what I want for three minutes. Three minutes for my business, three minutes for my body, three minutes for love and my family. And then I say thank you for three minutes."
Dodo has been doing this for eight years. And he is convinced: "I know what you can achieve with visualization."
The following clip also shows that the singer's style is well received: Dodo is invited into his neighbors' house - and is even cooked for by them. Why hospitality is still problematic for the musician:
