A Joyous exploration of music, guests and poetry: Alina & HipHarpCollective

Cerys hand picks you three hours of music to soundtrack your Sunday. This week she welcomes Alina Bzhezhinska and her HipHarpCollective to perform live from Â鶹Éç Maida Vale.

Cerys hand picks you three hours of music to soundtrack your Sunday. Expect an eclectic mix blending genres, eras and music from around the globe.

This week, she welcomes Alina Bzhezhinska and her HipHarpCollective to perform 3 tracks from their forthcoming album Reflections live from Â鶹Éç Maida Vale. Alina grew up in Ukraine and is now based in London. She is a jazz harpist, composer and band leader, with goals of bringing the harp to a contemporary sound. With her HipHarpCollective she draws on influences from Dorothy Ashby to Alice Coltrane as well as 90s triphop and afrobeat.

Jazz composer, percussionist and producer Sarathy Korwar tells us about composing the music for Sonali Bhattacharyya’s play Chasing Hares, set in West Bengal and currently on stage at the Young Vic. Plus a recently discovered poem written by Betty O’Connell, one of the code breakers at Bletchley park in 1944.

Also, as it’s Womad this weekend, there's music from the first festival, 40 years ago in 1982, as well as live recordings from this year’s festival, courtesy of our friends at Â鶹Éç Radio 3.
