NFF ventures to Cuba to expand the global music community!

It's been an exciting and rewarding year for New Found Frequency so now in an effort to give back to the international community, NFF co-creator Lizzy Ray will embark on a journey to southern Cuba in late June to exchange music to rural communities. As part of New Found Frequency's ongoing cultural exchange program, L. Ray will donate and exchange international music to remote Cuban communities who scarcely have access to music players much less listen to international sounds from across the world. Ray is calling on Australian artists and bands to consider donating their own music to a thriving Cuban community of music lovers who would otherwise have limited access to international music.
