Slow Sunday: with Zakia… ft. Alex Rita and Rohan Ayinde

Zakia slows things down with a sonic meditation from two artists - DJ and Calm Roots host Alex Rita and poet Rohan Ayinde, who take us on a healing and hypnotic journey.

DJ, broadcaster, writer, and dreamer Zakia Sewell provides the soundtrack to your dreams - playing music to ease the mind, soothe the soul, and open portals to new dimensions.

Zakia slows things down with a special sonic meditation from a collaboration of two artists - Alex Rita, DJ and host of Calm Roots on NTS, and the poet Rohan Ayinde. They take us on a hypnotic journey, weaving Alex’s meditative selections with Rohan’s poetry and voice, inviting us into their dream for a better future.

Elsewhere Zakia plays reflective selections that help us keep things gentle on this Slow Sunday. There's new music from KOMA, ML Buch, Megiapa and Carmen Villain, as well as some beauties from the vaults including Father’s Children, Crosby, Stills & Nash and Brigitte Fontaine.

We want to hear your dreams! Send in tales of your sleepy adventures to dreamtime@bbc.co.uk...
