Neon lights in the city. A group of German cyclists ride by in the distance. Tape echo Douala-Düsseldorf. Detroit, early 1970s. Driven by a shared appetite and passion for the flute—pygmy for one, transverse for the others—Francis, Ralf, and Florian are said to have met in Motor Town.

Intrigued by the rumor, Coussi Coussa digs deeper, pursues the chimera, and modestly attempts to set it to music. However, this exciting quest is fraught with many gray areas.

A time when discussion often matters more than virtuosity. We hope to bring Sanza back so that Francis can smile again.
