The fires that have ravaged the city of Los Angeles, and which have already caused 25 deaths and left more than 200,000 homeless, have had a strong impact on the recording industry, similar to the entertainment and cinema industries. If several celebrities lost their homes, this also happened in the world of music, with musicians like Zachary Cole Smith, from DIIV, being left not only without his home but also without his instruments, producer Madlib losing his record collection, and studios like Mix This, by Bob Clearmountain, being completely destroyed. The California calamity is strongly affecting the traditional awards season (from the Oscars, where music is not exactly a footnote, to the Grammys, the most important award in the North American music industry, the biggest in the world).
