Is there a place for politics in music? With Benjamin Zephaniah, Novelist, Sophia Thakur and Hussain Manawer
Benjamin Zephaniah with guests Novelist, Sophia Thakur and Hussain Manawer.
Music Life continues in this weekly series and podcast in which musicians talk to musicians about all aspects of life making music.
The host this time is poet, author and musician Benjamin Zephaniah (The Times listed him as one of 50 greatest postwar writers). And he’s joined by rapper Novelist (Mercury nominated), spoken word artist Sophia Thakur (performed live with London Symphony Orchestra, published author), and spoken word performer Hussain Manawer (supported Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, and Cher).
Led by Benjamin they’ll be discussing whether there is a place for politics in music, is it more difficult for men to be vulnerable and do they regret anything they have released. Benjamin aims to get to the bottom of how they all do what they do, and why they do it.
