Healing harps… with Zakia

Zakia shares healing selections and ethereal sounds for dark days, with words from LA harpist Mary Lattimore.

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 shares healing selections and ethereal sounds for dark days, with a bit of a highlight on the harp. There’s music from harpists like Cathie O’Sullivan, Dorothy Ashby, Nailah Hunter and Brandee Younger, as well as uplifting new releases from The Fruit Trees, Rena Jones, Dominic J Marshall and GENA.

Also, we travel down the Portal with the Los Angeles harpist Mary Lattimore. She shares some of her new release in collaboration with Julianna Barwick, reflects on her dreams and picks the track that transports her to other realms.
