Brazilian singer Xênia França and Haitian hip-hop artist Vox Sambou have taken vastly different paths with their musical careers throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. In this unique interview, also featuring renowned radio host, cultural journalist and music curator Catalina Maria Johnson, the two singer-songwriters share their triumphs, challenges and the deep impact of social isolation as artists on the brink of international stardom.
