Changing of the guard

HAJI MAJI
Hey BBB fans, Dmitri Mavra here with a quick note to let you know that after 5 years I am passing the BBB torch to Gregory Masaki Jenkins, of Fanfare Zambaleta, MWE, Agapi Mou (and more!) fame. It’s been a great time but I’m going to move on to some other music projects. Thanks to The Starry Plough for hosting us. See you around!
