Broadcaster, writer and DJ Zakia Sewell curates a rich selection of global roots-based music. Her forthcoming book Finding Albion explores British national identity, folk culture and myth, themes that also inform her work as a seasoned documentarian and longtime music aficionado. With formative years spent working behind the counter at Honest Jon’s Records in London, Zakia pulls from a multitude of threads to construct a sonic tapestry especially for Music Planet. Produced by Gabriel Francis. A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3. To listen on most smart speakers, just say: “Ask BBC Sounds to play Music Planet”.
