On this page, we posted genre and language playlists every month. Celebrating music in Europe today, these playlists were curated by IMPALA’s members. The 20Tracks series of playlists highlights the independent sector in all its diversity.
The diversity of European independent record labels is all the more visible through the multiplicity of languages, as well as all the different musical genres they pioneer.
Each month we featured a genre and a language, so get your headphones on and discover 28 great playlists below.
This playlist series was launched as part of IMPALA20 year-long celebrations for our 20th anniversary. Find out more on the dedicated blog right here and discover other #IMPALA20 highlights.
