Woweembeem Mixtape 009 — Danny & Rosa Groenland

This week our mixtape has been put together by Rosa & Danny Groenland. For those of you unacquainted, this beautiful couple have a baby. Yep. It’s a beautiful baby as well. Makes sense. Their mix features music from Mexico, Pakistan, Mali, France, Jamaica, Brazil and more. Possibly our most eclectic one to date.
