Audio conversaties
Vanaf 9 februari ben ik te horen op de audio-app Mentza, waar ik refererend aan Radio Wira Wiri gesprekken van 20-25 minuten voer met iedere keer een nieuwe gast. We praten over muziek uit verschillende culturen, de context van de muziek, de muziekindustrie, herwaardering van traditionele muziek en het ontdekken van nieuwe muziek.
