Mar 23 2021 Share

The year is 2021 and the Maltese language in music is thriving, with the amount of releases spoken in our native tongue as high as ever and tracks like Nick Morales’ ‘Stennieni’ being a testament to everything that is local.

The people that know Nick Morales, know that he is an OG of the Maltese music scene and the alternative sphere at large, donning a number of high-profile bands such as nosnow/noalps and BILA, amongst others.

This time round, Morales ventured into a solo project unlike any other with influences from pop, punk, flamenco and so much more. ‘Stennieni’ is a sombre tune about a distant couple, carried by a clean, trap-influenced instrumental and is available to stream on all your favourite platforms.

You can also follow him on Facebook and Instagram.

Prime Minister Robert Abela has unveiled that medicine for Malta’s cystic fibrosis patients will cost the government around €3 million a year. The Prime Minister stated that the drug Trikafta will be introduced into Maltese healthcare because the government ‘cares about the hardships of people.’ After a public campaign launched by 26-year-old Mandy Vella who suffers from cystic fibrosis, the statement by Abela finally gives the breakthrough medicine its place in Malta after having been lobbied for since August 2020.

Trikafta, also known as Kaftrio, costs over €10,000 per patient per month and is the only known treatment for the illness that affects the cells that produce mucus, leading to a build up in lungs and pancreas. Abela claims he had to discuss the decision with health authorities, but wanted to approve the treatment on spot despite the huge costs.

Saħħa reveals first two-digit COVID-19 case report in over a month

Mar 23 2021 Share

Roughly 2 weeks after the closure of restaurants, today’s COVID-19 case report revealed a substantial drop in numbers compared to the past weeks.

This is the first time that a COVID-19 case report revealed a two-digit figure with regards to new cases since 5th February 2021 and may be an indication that the health authorities’ mitigation measures are functioning properly.

Despite the seemingly-encouraging numbers, it is of utmost important that we, as a nation, remain with our feet on the ground and continue to follow COVID-19 protocol as we continue to approach ‘the light at the end of the tunnel’.

Stay vigilant, stay safe.
