Life with a dash of zing

Bringing their sophisticated and distorted sounds to the local scene are AIM, a Milanese band that will be performing at a number of venus this weekend.

Maltese folk is back in the spotlight, albeit with a twist as Kantilena are set to debut their latest singles this weekend. I met up with Sandro Lia, Drinu Camilleri and James Baldacchino, the brains behind the outfit. You could say that all three founding members of Kantilena have folk on their minds.
