Before playlists and streaming apps, there was Musica. This episode dives into the rise and fall of South Africa’s once-iconic music retailer — from Saturday mall trips to hunt down your fave CD, to its unexpected shutdown in 2021.

🎶 Whether you bought your first album there (shoutout KB’s Beautiful Vibrations) or remember getting lost in listening booths — this one’s for you.
