MIAMI BASEL DAY 1 – REPORT BY BENIAMINO MARINI

Dear Shaded Viewers,

one of my favorite musicians, the rock & roll singer Peaches, just had her concert on the beach here in Miami for the opening night of the biggest art event worldwide. You can imagine the crowd and the atmosphere. A warm wind and a half moon in the tropical sky were tonight’s present.
