Soothing selections for January… with Zakia

Dream Time

Expires on Wednesday 12:00am

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 soothing selections to help get us through these last few days of January. There’s warming sounds from Madagascar, Uyghur folk music from Central Asia, new releases from Ego Ella May, Duval Timothy and CJ Mirra. And Zakia’s guest, drummer, producer and singer Momoko Gill, pops by to tell us about her dreams, and to select a track that transports her to another place. In a few weeks, we’ll be marking Valentine’s on Dream Time with some loved-up selections. We’ll be handing over to you, the listener, to suggest a track that makes you think of love. And that's love in all its forms, not just romantic, but platonic and spiritual love, love for other living beings too, like cats and dogs. All welcome. If you have any dreamy love songs you’d like Zakia to play, email dreamtime@bbc.co.uk or text us on 03700 100 600. A Reduced Listening Production for BBC Radio 6 Music.
