Gilles Peterson sits in

Gilles Peterson sits in for Lauren Laverne with live music from Zimbabwe-born and Lewisham-raised Eska, whose self-titled debut has been nominated for the 2015 Mercury Prize.

Gilles brings his unique, world-tinged flavours to daytime 6 Music. Joined for live music by Zimbabwe-born, Lewisham-raised Eska, whose self-titled debut has made this year's Mercury Prize shortlist.

Since the release of her Matthew Herbert-produced debut EP, Gatekeeper, in 2013, Eska has been generating a hefty amount of buzz. She has provided guest vocals and songwriting duties for the like of Grace Jones, Zero 7, The Cinematic Orchestra and Tony Allen, and finally, earlier this year, released her long-awaited self-titled debut album. The album was made with producer Louis "Slipperz" Hackett and Dave Okumu (singer/guitarist in Mercury nominees The Invisible, and producer for Jessie Ware), and has drawn comparisons to Kate Bush, Erykah Badu, and Lee Scratch Perry - a list eclectic enough to suggest that Eska's sound is, in fact, entirely her own.
