Record store day: le uscite del Black Friday

Torna il Record store day, una giornata per celebrare i negozi di dischi indipendenti. Nel 2025 sarà festeggiato il 12 aprile.

l Record store day ricorda il valore dei negozi di dischi indipendenti. La giornata fu istituita da Chris Brown, un impiegato in un negozio di dischi statunitense, nel 2007 e l’iniziativa fu subito accolta da tutti gli statunitensi.

Nel 2024 la giornata ha avuto un respiro internazionale e fu utilizzata per promuovere nuove uscite discografiche. L’ambassador globale dell’evento è stata Taylor Swift che ha dichiarato:

«Sono molto orgogliosa di essere l’ambasciatrice del Record Store Day di quest’anno. I luoghi in cui andiamo a curiosare, esplorare e scoprire musica nuova e vecchia sono sempre stati sacri per me.»
