Lopa Kothari with a session by Malian singer Fatoumata Diawara, a Jamaican Road Trip from DJ and broadcaster Alex Jordan and a Mixtape compiled by Mr Jukes of Bombay Bicycle Club.
Presented by Lopa Kothari and featuring a specially recorded studio session by the Malian singer and songwriter Fatoumata Diawara, performing material from her new album Fenfo.
