In the midst of this crisis affecting the entire planet, we have decided to contact some of the most prominent members of the Latin American music scene to talk about their careers and about the present and future of the artistic industry on this side of the world. In some cases we will conduct personalized interviews and in others we will open forums where we will have a group of participants discussing different issues in this sector. All talks will take place from our respective shelters, and we will never (at least not intentionally) put the musicians' health at risk. We hope to meet our goal of holding two or three meetings each week and will post them online. on the official Zonagirante.com YouTube channel and sharing it on our site. Just like we do with the podcast, we won't change the URL of this article, so it's easier to find the video archive that we'll be posting each time.
