Known as “Van the Man” to his fans, Morrison rose to prominence in the mid-1960s as the lead singer of the Belfast R&B band Them, with whom he wrote and recorded “Gloria. His solo career started with the release of the hit single “Brown Eyed Girl” in 1967. He has a new album coming out on 23 January, Someone Tried to Sell Me a Brdige.

Cumbia para la Previa (Mix Fiestero)
Mix Verano 2026
Here we have a whole range of cumbia stars from who make our feet move with their music andhelp us look fordward to spring, though it still seems far away. The cumbia pop genre emerged in the mid-2000s when some musical groups from Uruguay and Argentina made covers of popular songs, mixing them with elements of cumbia and pop, and posted them on YouTube. One of the pioneers was the Uruguayan group VI-EM, followed by the Argentine group Agapornis. However, it did not gain much notoriety, but at that time other sub-genres such as cumbia villera were more popular.

Yumi Zouma
In Camera
Yumi Zouma are a New Zealand alternative pop band from Christchurch. The band consists of Christie Simpson (vocals, keyboards), Josh Burgess (guitar, bass guitar, vocals, keyboards), Charlie Ryder (guitar, bass guitar, keyboards), and Olivia Campion (drums). The band’s name is an amalgamation of the two friends who encouraged the group to start writing together. The band did not begin writing music together until multiple members moved abroad and began collaborating over email following the events of the Christchurch earthquake. This early material gained attention within the musical blogosphere and encouraged American label Cascine to sign the band before they had played live or held a band practice.
