Today's episode is a series of interviews with Ukrainian musicians now living in Switzerland. Some of them fled the war, others settled here and decided to stay. Among them is a German musician who helped his friends get their parents out of Ukraine during the war. They are all my friends and it was the most emotional conversation I have ever had. They told me and Sébastien their stories, they talked about what they experienced during the war and how it affected their relationship with music.
