But we got on a blues streak. We cut 11 blues in two days… When we heard them back after not hearing them for a couple of months, we were, ‘Who’s that?’ ‘It’s you.’ It sounded so authentic.” v Top stories The creative crew of the Public TV had chosen 13-year-old Malena as a participant of this year's contest.
