Members of 60 different NGOs making part of the ‘Spazji Miftuħa’ coalition have gathered in front of Castille to protest the government’s mistreatment of environmental issues.

We’ve been seeing a boom in local music recently and say that we can complain. Here’s a couple some local music you should be checking out ASAP.

The Busker X Matthew James – Just a Little Bit More

Follow The Busker’s line-up change, this is the first in their list of upcoming collaborations and who better to start with than singer-songwriter Matthew James. It’s feel-good, it’s funky and it’s local, what’s not to love?

Ryan Paul – Fine (In My Mind)

A relative newcomer to the Maltese music scene, Ryan Paul releases a future house banger in ‘Fine’, showing the local electronic sphere that he’s a force to be reckoned with. Being released on international channel ‘Future House Music’ and already garnering 10,000+ streams, we can’t wait to hear more from this guy.

Janice Mangion – Kewkba

We’ve always been suckers for Janice Mangion’s singing and songwriting in our mother tongue and ‘Sajjetta fil-Bnazzi’ is a testament to this. Seemingly welcoming the colder months in style, you can stream her song below:

Where It’s ATT – The Music

The Maltese-Aussie brothers have been on a roll recently. After releasing their G-House album ‘Sounds of The Street’ featuring their breakout hit ‘The Rain’, Where It’s ATT have kept the momentum going with ‘The Music’, a groovy, house-y banger of a track.

Jessica Magro – Break The Silence

Our last entry for this list is Jessica Magro’s ‘Break the Silence’, a synth-pop infused track flaunting the beauty of the Maltese Islands. How many local destinations can you spot in the video?
