Where this comes from
Everything here comes from Wikidata, the free database behind Wikipedia: people whose place of birth is the city or one of its districts, and groups formed there, who have a MusicBrainz entry. They’re ordered by how many Wikipedias have an article about them. Each name links to its entry. Players are the artists’ official Spotify profiles or YouTube channels and only load when you press play; those services may set cookies.
