Dodo has always produced music for Swiss artists and is a musician himself. In South Africa, Dodo has recorded a lot of music and shot video clips - such as the video for his famous song "Hippie Bus". 

Why Africa? Dodo was born in Kenya and grew up on the Ivory Coast for the first six years of his life. Then his family had to return to Switzerland unexpectedly. Since then, Dodo has never been back to the Ivory Coast. Those first years in Africa deeply shaped the artist's life, look and music. It was clear that one day he would like to return to his old home.

With his "Ministry of Good Vibes", he wanted to travel to Africa by water in 2020 and trace his roots. These plans were abruptly halted by the Corona pandemic. In the end, he did not cross the oceans with his eleven-ton, twelve-metre-long and three-metre-high container, but the Swiss Alps. Last autumn, the time had finally come: Dodo's dream - the great adventure of Africa - could be realised. So he shipped his container on the Rhine from Basel to Rotterdam and on to Africa. On the way, he composed songs and realised exciting musical collaborations. 

Now Dodo celebrates a big reunion and returns with his container to Switzerland, to Falera near LAAX. In addition to new songs, he also has musical companions from his journey in his luggage. Dodo has always felt a strong connection to LAAX, the European Mecca of freestyle. As a passionate snowboarder, he is drawn to this place. The concert starts at 8 p.m. and is free of charge. Those who would like to support Dodo and his friends can donate a free amount to the collecte.
