This year, we decided to have a different go at the usual end of the year list. Thanks to RTM.FM and Taco!, we could change the medium and move from written words to on-air ones…
Our first podcast of 2022 and third Rhythm Passport Presents… features a “best albums of 2021” retracing and bringing together some of the best releases of the year that has just passed. The show also includes a short mix anticipating some of the most interesting singles of 2022.
So, join us on-board our monthly round-the-world music discovery flight and enjoy the sound.
