Right now the most prominent example of the success of migrating sounds in Germany is Patrice. Who can fail to remember his hit "Up in My Room", which stormed the charts last fall? Even his long-players excited a worldwide audience, but it is chiefly as a live act that he has sung his way into his fans' hearts. Whether he is accompanying himself on the guitar or joining the Jamaican band "Shashamani" - his unique mixture of humour, sensitivity, B-Boy style and unmistakeable Krio singing have garnered the 23-year-old invitations to the Dakar 24 Festival and to California (Reggae on the River) and New York (Tamika Reggae Awards). In France he quickly achieved superstar status.
