Event Review: Mai Mai Mai + [something’s happening] @ Cafe OTO (London; Wednesday 12th October 2022)
It is the first time for me at Cafe Oto after a long time. I get a beer and I sit down, waiting for the concert to start. After a little while, [SOMETHING’S HAPPENING] takes the stage. The music of this sound and text duo – composed by poet and...
One of the world’s most eclectic parties returns post covid with a re-launched ethos, providing a party more popular than ever.
