World Music During Pandemic

World Music During Pandemic

I am not a Doctor, so I have no advice about the novel Coronavirus other than Do Not Drink Bleach!

During this time of confinement for most, many musicians are being creative to put out their music online. Please support them by watching their videos, going to their YouTube channels or page, as they may have links on how you can support them during these times. As with the other pages of the site, I will compile the otherwise publicly available World Music videos falling under this theme.

Hopefully this will be over soon, and musicians will be able to tour, play in festivals, make new videos and take us places with their music.

A special thanks and big up to all those essential workers who are keeping our society functional.

Stay safe, follow the health and confinement recommendations and NO BLEACH down your throats or in your veins!
