Journey through magical realms… with Zakia

Join Zakia for a dreamy musical adventure around the globe, with selections from Mauritania, Turkey and Barbados. Plus words from the Brazilian musician Sessa.

DJ, broadcaster, writer and dreamer Zakia Sewell provides the soundtrack to your dreams - playing music to ease the mind, soothe the soul, and open portals to new dimensions…

Take a spin with Zakia through magical musical realms, with dreamy selections from all around the globe - including Mauritanian griot Noura Mint Seymali, Anatolian psych legend Erkin Koray and Bajan disco veteran Debbie Gaskin, as well as new releases from Dublin’s Officer John, Chicago’s Tortoise and Colombia's Veronica Cian.

Plus, we hear from São Paulo singer and guitarist Sessa. He shares reflections on his new album, fatherhood, dreams and picks out a couple of ‘70s Brazilian tracks that have served as inspiration for him.
