Love from Brazil… with Zakia

Zakia Sewell brings the sunshine with a stack of records from her recent trip to Brazil, with plenty of samba and saudade sounds.

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…

Zakia brings sunshine sounds to blast away the cobwebs and any January blues, with a stack of records from her recent trip to Brazil. Expect some samba, bossa nova, MPB and saudade sounds, with crackly guitars, soaring voices and soul-nurturing rhythms. There are classics from Milton Nascimento, Elis Regina, Baden Powell, Jorge Ben and Joyce, as well as some new discoveries. Plus recent releases from elsewhere, including Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Dialect and Ben McElroy.
