Rome empire was taken down by Arab world.

Nah, not really.

Tunisia the main detail is that the Romans at that time were the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire rather than the classical Roman Empire of Julius Caesar’s era.

Yes. After several centuries of Roman and then Byzantine rule, Arab Muslim armies conquered much of North Africa, including present-day Tunisia, in the 7th century.

Mmh, partially correct. Sorry, but that's my passion. Therefore here some (possibly boring) info:

The Western Roman Empire came to an end in 476 AD, when the Germanic military leader Odoacer deposed the last Western Roman emperor, Romulus Augustulus. This marked the collapse of Roman rule in Europe, whereas the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire continued to exist until 1453.

The end of the Byzantine Empire occurred in 1453 with the conquest of Constantinople by Mehmed II, who was an Ottoman Turk, not an Arab.

The settlements in present-day Tunisia were known as Carthage until their conquest by Scipio Aemilianus in 146 BC. The original Roman province of Africa was lost in 439 AD to the Germanic Vandals under Geiseric, who established their own kingdom.

Following its reconquest by the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire in 533–534, the region was briefly back under imperial control. The Arab conquest of the Maghreb between 647 and 709 AD marked the final loss of the region for the empire. With the capture of Carthage in 698 AD, the Byzantine-Roman presence in North Africa came to a definitive end, and the region became part of the Islamic Caliphate.

still great

That was close.

Spargelzeit's over. How's the TVAT doing? @FlavourFade

nice

Well-deserved after nine hours of work on the cottage grounds. Cheers, everyone.

The story behind it is quite interesting, too. The festival was apparently a defining moment for the Colombian music scene. Unfortunately, the live recording of the gig didn't work out, so it had to be re-recorded in the studio later, with live crowd noise layered over it. Sadly, this meant the sound quality suffered.
