The team behind the record labels Preference Records and The Village is here with an internet radio program.

On this month’s episode, they are joined by special guest Arowah.

Arowah (formerly Jelly Cleaver) is an award winning and internationally recognised musician. As a musician, they see the role of an artist as a philosopher, community builder and healer, with their work being a meditation on the social and the spiritual. Having danced around many scenes and styles including jazz, punk, experimental, classical, disco and dance, they have always remained uncategorizable, defined only by fluidity. They move freely from composing for orchestra to performing on line-ups with some of the UK’s most exciting DIY and indie bands, and to playing Afro-Brazilian jazz mainstage at Brazil’s largest Black culture festival. A familiar face across several music scenes, they’ve performed with Angel Bat David, Rebecca Vasmant, Jalen Ngonda and Liv Winter, supported Ishmael Ensemble, Lady Blackbird, Steam Down and Public Service Broadcasting and been label mates with Sports Team, English Teacher, Binker and Moses and Theon Cross.

Alongside performing around the world and receiving praise from key tastemakers, they have embodied the artist as activist by bringing music into their activism and activism into their music. They have performed their politically charged songs at many protests and fundraisers, including to 15,000 at Trafalgar Square and 60,000 outside Parliament for Climate Justice marches. They’ve been commissioned by activist groups Global Justice Now and Debt Justice to write compositions addressing vaccine apartheid and neo-colonial debt agreements.
