The 2024 edition sparked the creation of 20 original songs. One standout from last year’s residency is ‘SAID I DO’ by Chipego, a soulful track born from a late-night studio session with Danish producer Mark Fosnæs.
Chipego’s upcoming track ‘All Yours’ featuring uBeyond, Elias Njovu & Pilfinger, was also crafted during the 2024 residency. Pre-save the song HERE.
