Afro-diasporic grooves and Lucas Santtana’s Return Journey

Kathryn Tickell curates a selection of roots-based music from across the globe, including fresh Afro-diasporic grooves from London-based, Ethio-jazz–inspired duo Zena. Plus Rotterdam-based Ghanaian multi-instrumentalist and producer Kay Slice collaborates with highlife legend Gyedu-Blay Ambolley, and Swedish fiddle icon Lena Jonsson and Finnish accordion innovator Johanna Juhola bring new life into traditional Nordic melodies.

And if that wasn't riches enough... ahead of a London show celebrating the release of his new album Brasiliano, renowned Brazilian producer, guitarist and singer Lucas Santtana shares his two Return Journey tracks: one for the road and one that takes him home.
