Through a series of events - talks, live shows and club nights, the aim is to experience and explore music from different perspectives, and to think about what it means to us.
For the first talk in the series, Nabihah invites historian and BBC presenter David Olusoga to talk share and discuss the music that is most important to him in front of an intimate audience. The talk and collective listening experience will be followed by a Q&A session.
