Xulfi promises that a lot of inspiring stories will find a voice through this season. “I am proud to say that through Nescafe Basement, several talented musicians have found an opportunity to explore different avenues of music such as playing in bands, going across the border and singing for local productions. This season, not only will the audience get to hear some exceptional music but also see a lot of emotional and heart stirring stories from behind-the-scenes. The best thing about this platform is that it brings together young aspiring musicians of different backgrounds and bonds them with their mutual passion for music. We have the biggest line-up with 45 musicians this year which has given us the freedom to experiment even more. It won’t be wrong to say this is the most exciting season of Nescafe Basement I have worked on so far” Xulfi states.
