* Bleu Roi, Ursina and Muthoni DQ at m4music 2017 *

Last week I did first part of the review of m4music festival

Continuing with the review of m4music Festival in this show as well, I will focus in tonight's Gimme A Beat on 3 more artists.

First artist that I will focus on is Bleu Roi, very talented swiss band, quartet, consisting from two sisters and two brothers. They were my 2nd gig on Friday at m4music Festival and they performed outside, on the Showcase stage. This setup worked very well for the band. With the combination of their majestic sound, beautiful voices & blue lights that added to the atmosphere, it was easy for the band to attract and capture the audience growing in size as the gig went on. Later in the evening, i sat together with Jenny, singer and mastermind, and Alex from the band for an itw. We talked about how they became Bleu Roi and their exciting, cross continental journey that is reflected in *Of Inner Cities*, debut album released late last year.

Also on Friday, in the 1st hour of m4music Festival, I've interviewed and saw URSINA live for the first time. Ursina is another young, talented swiss artist from Graubüden and she will be my 2nd artist I will focus on  To summarize Ursina's gig, one can actually turn to the title *You Have My Heart* of her debut album released this January. Because with her clear, strong and at the same time fragile&emotional voice, even with the showcase gig, i am sure that she had hearts of everybody that happened to be there and experience it. Just before she took the stage, we sat together to talk about her musical upbringing, Swiss Romanish roots and how they, together with her life experiences and music from her favourite artists influenced the music from her debut album.

On the 2nd day of the festival I had an early start because of an interview with Muthoni Drummer Queen and GR! During an itw, I was very impressed with Muthoni's life story and her fresh, hopeful attitude that gives her an energy to keep going forward and reinventing herself. And the circumstances that brought two swiss producers and her together is adding a close-to-miracle element to it. Actually since it happened at xmas, it was a xmas miracle
We also talked about their new album *She* and inspiration/concept behind it. At the moment only one single: Kenyan Message is out; the rest will be released very soon. Muthoni The Drummer Queen's gig was another late gig and for me it was a last gig of the festival. The experience followed the interview vibe, it was powerful, inspiring and fun at the same time for me and for everybody that were there. The performance was conceptual, with amazing group of dancers and infectious beat to dance the night away.
