I am sure many of you heard of this guy sometime in summer laast year but here is more info.

And please note he has finished anovel "Nairobi to Shenzen' - like CC2C.

SHENZHEN, China - The news release didn't say who Mark Ndesandjo was. Nor did the posters and emails promoting the concert Friday in this southern Chinese boomtown where he played piano to raise money for orphans.


But the 200 or so people who showed up for the fundraiser at a posh hotel resort knew the man in a Chinese-style brown silk shirt was the half brother of President-elect Barack Obama. They had a rare encounter with Ndesandjo, who has been dodging the media since his family ties were made public last summer.


For the past seven years, Ndesandjo has been living in Shenzhen, a freewheeling city just across the border from Hong Kong. The announcement for his piano concert identified him as a strategic marketing consultant. He also helped start a chain of eateries in China called Cabin BBQ.


Ndesandjo has a thin moustache, shaved head and a gold stud in his left earlobe. He slightly resembles his half brother, and shares the same trim, athletic physique. He speaks Mandarin, is a vegetarian and practices Chinese calligraphy.


And he said Friday that he has just finished a novel called "Nairobi to Shenzhen," but as yet has no publisher.


Ndesandjo apparently wants a low-key life separate from Obama. No one mentioned his family when he was introduced at the charity concert and cocktail party sponsored by the American Chamber of Commerce in South China

and there's more
