Akari Wauja and Nathaniel Mann

Verity Sharp hosts a remarkable, improvised collaboration between the renowned indigenous Brazilian musician-storyteller and the composer-singer-sound-artist from Essex.

Nathaniel Mann, a composer, singer, and sound artist from Essex, recently travelled to the Xingu reservation in Brazil to visit the indigenous community, the Wauja. There he met and recorded with renowned musician and storyteller Akari Wauja, whose mission is to keep his culture alive for younger generations, and to draw attention to the plight of the rainforest habitat and its people.

Tonight this remarkable, unique collaboration comes to the 成人快手 Studios in London, for a live session of improvisation and open-form composition, featuring foot bells, bamboo drums, electric bass, and singing. Late Junction is honoured to host Akari Wauja for his first-ever radio performance, on his first trip to Europe.

Elsewhere in the programme we move from the Amazon to London鈥檚 Heathrow Airport, as Verity Sharp showcases Kate Carr鈥檚 field recordings from under a flight path.

Produced by Jack Howson.
