Hive Open Mic 89
The 89th Hive Open Mic event ran from December 19-25, 2021, with the theme: Palabra Santa (that's "Holy Word" in English). This theme was chosen by our recent Spotlight Artist @colorcareer, whose gifts as a multi-instrumentalist extend to some incredible musical collaborations. Let's begin today's Hive Open Mic community concert with his song.
Mi Vida Nececita de Ti / My Life Needs You (Cover) by @colorcareer
@colorcareer teams up to deliver a song that is well-performed and also precious in its sentiment. See the little girl asleep on her daddy's lap. What a peaceful, powerful musical moment.

Very important words of this song that Omar and Dina give us in week 89 paying tribute to our theme.

An acapella interpretation of Joy to Thw World, whish was also very emotional and touching. The vibes fo this singing reached our hearts, even more as the pith was perfect, although it is not easy to achieve while singing acapella.
