On June 30, around 11:30 pm, I was listening to New Sounds on my car radio. There was an Argentinian guitar ensemble, I thought named "Zun". I'm trying to find out about their album ("First ????"). Is there a place on your website that I can find out the other musicians highlighted that evening?
Thanks for any info you might be able to provide me.
