    Government promised to soon allow concerts for them to earn a living.

    Only musicians registered under the UMA association will get a share of the money given to them.

    Balaam was also present and was seen as the man who made this deal pass through since he continuously went to speak to the president on behalf of the artists.

    Congratulations to the musicians for finally getting the money they cried for.
