Calm music for connection ft. Sheku Kanneh-Mason

Join 脫lafur Arnalds for a selection of soothing music that celebrates togetherness. Plus British cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason transports us to his musical safe haven.

Music has always been an important part of community and relationships - a way for us to feel connected to each other. It gives us a reason to gather together and helps us relate to one another. 脫lafur celebrates that aspect of music with an episode inspired by community, family, friendship and togetherness. He鈥檒l play a selection of soothing sounds including tracks by the likes of Aksuna, Shida Shahabi and the husband-wife duo Windy & Carl, as well as his own collaborative work as part of the duo Kiasmos, with Faroese musician Janus Rasmussen, and his work with the OPIA Community, a travelling festival series, record label and community hub.

Plus the British cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason transports us to his musical safe haven. Sheku is no stranger to collaborations, he frequently works with his siblings to create beautiful works together. He shares a piece of music that brings him ultimate calm, a track that reminds him of a sunrise.
