Cerys chats to Grammy-nominated, French-Lebanese trumpet virtuoso Ibrahim Maalouf.

Ibrahim has been recognised for blending genres from rap to jazz with Middle Eastern flavours with his custom-made trumpet (it has a fourth valve, so he can play quarter tones). Last year Ibrahim released a collaborative album with Benin's Angelique Kidjo, Queen of Sheba which was nominated for a Grammy Award, making Ibrahim the first Lebanese instrumentalist to be nominated. At the tail end of 2022 Ibrahim released his sixteenth studio album, Capacity to Love, which includes collaborations with Pos of De La Soul, Gregory Porter and Erick The Architect.

Cerys also hears from South African cellist Abel Selaocoe about his soundscape for Leeds 2023, Director Amanda Tyndall tells us what to expect from the upcoming Edinburgh Science Festival and musicians Chris Hyson, Frida Touray and The White Horse Guitar Club tell us about their latest releases and creative processes.

Alongside three hours of hand-picked music curated by Cerys to soundtrack your Sunday morning. Expect tracks from a mix of genres, eras and countries exploring International Day of Happiness and International Day of Forests.
