Batila and Dandy: Why we make music

Available for over a year

What happens when Bantu-soul meets English pop? Congolese musician Batila and British singer Dandy talk to Datshiane Navanayagam about how making music helps them to make sense of the societies they live in. Liraz is an Israeli singer, actress and dancer, who’s one of Israel’s biggest stars. She speaks to Datshiane about her latest album, Zan which means "women" in Farsi. It’s a record that has had a lifetime poured into it, as it draws heavily on her family’s history and roots in Iran. Has a film, a song or an exhibition ever changed the way you see the world? Acclaimed composer and pianist Max Richter discusses the creative power of the Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda. (Image: Batila and Dandy. Credit (Batila): Daron Bandeira)
