I´have get a luck to meet the Divan Cesaria in Gothenburg konserthall when she was here for her first European tour, booked by Ken Day. At that time she was touring from capital to capital from town to a town through the whole continent. From hotel to concert place and back to the Airport. In the end, she did have no idea in witch town or countrie she was. When I´met here few hours before the concert, I´said welcome Cesaria. My name is Said and I´come from Algeria. Aha! anwered hon to me " We are in Algeria, nice country" . I´answered no Cesaria, you are in Sweden but me I´m from Algeria. I´understood at that moment that a such artist should have been discovered 30 years ago not now when she was that old. Just like Cheikha remitti eller Omara Portuando.
