Shabaka in session

Shabaka plays live in the studio and chats with Soweto.

Fridays on ‘Round Midnight feature conversation, mixtapes and live sessions.

Tonight Soweto hosts leading light Shabaka. He talks about giving up the saxophone to focus on flutes, including the Japanese shakuhachi, and how learning a new instrument is driving his creativity. Alongside a band including Elliott Galvin on piano and synths, Alina Bzhezhinska on harp, and Hinako Omori on keys and synths, Shabaka plays a selection of tracks from his new album ‘Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace’.
