Cerys handpicks your Sunday playlist ranging from blues to calypso and jazz to Turkish Psych, with records from Aretha Franklin, Aziza Brahim, and new music from Satellites and Aaron Taylor. Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason shares stories from her book House of Music, what it takes to raise a musical family in a Britain divided by class and race.

Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason moved from Sierra Leone to Wales as a young girl, is a former lecturer at Birmingham University and the mother of seven musical children. The third eldest, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, was 鶹Լ Young Musician 2016 and performed at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The siblings have performed at the 2018 BAFTA ceremony, Strictly Come Dancing, The Royal Variety Performance and at major concert halls around the world.
