On their way back to Europe, Ifang Bondi will use their transit at
Washington DC to meet up with family & friends.

The PEPSI SZIGET FESTIVAL  in Budapest is with a staggering 350.000
visitors from all over Europe arguably  the largest pop/rock  festival
of Europe.  In 1999 & 2000 African music was represented by  Mory Kante
and Baaba Maal respectively, this year Ifang Bondi will be flying the
flag for Africa.

After the final concerts in Holland - the 2  festivals don't need any
further introduction to people in Holland -  the band will return to The
Gambia.

Ifang Bondi will hit the road again in October/November.
Keep posted for more tour dates!
