Projekt “Parada” bio je jedan od najuspješnijih projekata u okviru programa Linz09 – Europska prijestolnica kulture. „Glazba u pokretu“ glasio je moto parade koja je na različitim mjestima u Linzu okupila ansamble i orkestre iz cijeloga svijeta. Reakcija publike i glazbenika bila je nevjerojatna. Tisuće ljudi spontano se pridružila glazbenicima i zajedno s njima kretala ulicama Linza.

Dariusz Kowalski i Peter Kuthan ovaj su fascinantni projekt dokumentirali filmom koji će se po prvi puta prikazati u Hrvatskoj na 2nd SPFF-u – Festivalu glazbenog dokumentarnog filma.

A report from Josiah Moyo who accompanied the Maliko group of musicians from Sinazongwe / Zambia on their journey to Austria to attend the Parade at Linz 09: "Ich war dabei" which means " I was part of it" and was written on the Linz09 T-shirts.

He writes about their astonishment: "they did not think that blowing a horn ('kusiba nyele'  in local Tonga language) can take a person so far".

Fifteen musicians of Simonga group from Siachilaba and fifteen musicians of Maliko from Sinazongwe have been invited by Linz2009, the Cultural Capital of Europe this year to participate at Parade from 1st to 3rd May.  The group is led by Jossam Munkuli and Peter Mungombe of Simonga, and by David Mundando and Chief Sinazongwe of Maliko. Tour manager is Sengamo Ndlovu from Tonga.Online team in Binga.

"It is such a pleasure to see the efforts by Simonga and Maliko to highlight the cultural heritage of the BaTonga people. That the event is being hosted on the Zambezi River, across the bridge, could not have been more symbolic. The bridge physically unites the two sides of the river as does this cultural project for the BaTonga people across the river." (Dominic Muntanga)
