🎵 Weekly Update
Celebrating 74 weeks of Hive Open Mic
The 74th consecutive Hive Open Mic event ran from September 5-11, 2021, with the theme: Protection. This theme was selected by Spotlight Artist: @susamusic, who is a youthful ray of sunshine, and a fantastic song carrier. It feels fitting to start the highlights with the song she shared this week.
Cada Día / Every Day (Cover) by @susamusic
@susamusic shows us how she finds protection in her life. She carries the song with stunning beauty, through multiple voices in harmony.
No hay más grande protección que la suya, gran elección esa canción, te ha quedado de maravilla! —@alinares

Yo Te Protegere / I'll Protect You (Cover) by @emilmadrid
@emilmadrid brings an emotional tenderness through a song that touches my heart. I highly admire the song lyrically as well as musically, and I especially admire the gentle sensitivity that this artist gives as he expresses the song.
¡Bravo amigo!. Que buena composición y muchas gracias por compartir la historia que te inspiró a traernos esta melodía tan melancólica. Creo que yo tampoco podría borrar fácilmente una situación como esa de mi memoria, pero me alegra cuando la gente usa estos sentimientos contribuyendo también al arte. Muy bueno todo en esta publicación. ¡Que tengas feliz semana!. —@jesuslnrs
