Andrei Ilie // Năluca // Recording session for Rockabella

This song was recorded and filmed on May 1st, 2020. It was the first one to benefit from this setup as the world lockdown enabled me to dedicate more time to my studio and better it on many levels.

One of my favourite songs to play live from Rockabella and a highlight of our performances so far. So glad to have had the inspiration to put together a video of this session.
