The Hempolics’ debut album Kiss Cuddle & Torture Volume 1 is a fun and inventive debut record packed with zesty numbers from start to finish. Perhaps what makes The Hempolics so distinctive is their refusal to fully commit wholeheartedly to one genre – to describe them simply as a reggae…

What is a resonator? A resonator, according to a quick Google search, “produces a deep, full, reverberating sound.” A band of resonators, then, produces deep, full, reverberating sound and sounds, first and foremost, which one may call music, for it was composed to be considered as such: songs that enchant….

Womex is something more than an exhibition: it’s more intense and bonding. That’s probably why, for the second time in the last three years, it happened in Santiago de Compostela.
