[Berta]: Hey, you’re friends with GAVINA.mp3, right? I need to write him a bio and all I know is that he won the Sona 9.
[Anonymous friend of Gavina.mp3, audio transcript]: Mmm... Let’s see, he’s a guy who’s a poet... well, he was a poet… and now he’s moved more towards, I don’t know, a kind of Yung Lean vibe and all that... He has this kind of very ethereal, poetic presence, and he tries to write these pretty suggestive lyrics... mmm... he's got this whole, I don’t know, special thing going on. I really like him!
[Anonymous friend of Gavina.mp3, more inspired, audio transcript]: Look, I’d say he’s the perfect example of the smart, good-taste rastaflauta who’s managed to evolve into a modern-day cool guy.
