Live Music Is Making Its Way Back!!

The last thing I really want to write about is COVID, but of course it is part of our everyday lives now, so it is inevitable. One of the many things that is improving with the decline of Aruba’s positive COVID case count, is that live music is making its way back on the scene. It never completely left but for quite awhile live music was restricted to only one band member and only allowed to be ‘background’ music. While there is still a ban on dancing, our bands can now be comprised of up to five members. I, for one, love to listen to live music! I really don’t even care what kind of music it is. I just really enjoy the ambiance live music brings to a venue. Aruba has many talented singers and musicians. I remember the pre-COVID days when we listened to live bands at MooMba & Surfside Beach Bar under the stars, dancing in the sand. I cannot wait for those days to return! For now, we will take what we can get.
