It’s a music special on this week’s Arts Hour as Nikki Bedi talks to singer, broadcaster, author and poetry-lover Cerys Matthews about her latest album ‘We Come From The Sun’, and to music journalist Beatriz de la Pava. American band The Flaming Lips explain the unusual steps they’ve taken to keep playing live during the pandemic. ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus shares his thoughts on how streaming services should be fairer to artists. We hear exactly what it takes to become a K-Pop star. Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto on getting a whole orchestra to whistle while they play. Radio DJ and Producer Seani B takes us through the basics of Dancehall. Plus a brilliant collaboration between Cuban pianist Omar Sosa and Ethiopian musician Seleshe Damessae. (Photo: Cerys Matthews. Credit: Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert/Getty Images)
