Believe it or not, we’ve officially entered the last phase of 2021, and it’s been quite a year to say the least. Music wise, things have been good though. And that’s what we’re choosing to focus on.
The region’s music scene has developed and expanded into new arenas of sound and melodies, and we’re here for it.
