Concert Review: Mei Semones

If listening to Mei Semones is like tasting a flavor that’s never been tasted before, seeing Mei Semones live is like being able to see a new color.

On Tuesday, April 14, Mei Semones performed for a stop of her Spring Tour at Motorco Music Hall, her first time playing in Durham. This marks almost one year since her debut studio album, “Animaru”.
