Whether you are a fan of rap, alternative rock, EDM, or pop there’s something for you at BUKU Music + Art Project. BUKU is a two-day immersive music and arts festival that takes place once a year in New Orleans along the Mississippi River. Just one week away, March 25-26, 2022 will be the festival’s ten-year celebration.
Trying to decide which artists to see at BUKU can be quite a difficult task so we wanted to give a shoutout to a few of our favorite “must-see” artists.
Must listen:
KennyHoopla manages to combine pop-punk, new wave, and hip hop into his own unique sound. He released his first commercial EP in 2020 and since then has produced a mixtape with Travis Barker and toured alongside artists such as Yungblud and Machine Gun Kelly.
