Float away… with Zakia

Float away with Zakia’s wistful selections from around the world - flamenco guitars, Bolivian psych and Algerian funk... Plus, we hear from the Colombian musician Lucrecia Dalt.

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…

Float away with Zakia’s wistful selections from around the world. There’ll be flamenco guitars, Bolivian psych, Lebanese soul, Cuban-inspired Japanese pop, and Algerian funk, with new music from the likes of Jamael Dean, CHO CO PA CO CHO CO QUIN QUIN and Tides.

Plus, we hear from the Colombian musician Lucrecia Dalt, who tells us about the inspiration behind her latest single, Divina, as well as some reflections on sleep states and her enduring love for Alice Coltrane.

We want to hear your dreams! Send in tales of your sleepy adventures to dreamtime@bbc.co.uk or text them to 03700 100 600
