My first @nts_radio mix, Deep Roots, hits the airwaves of the internet this weekend! Tune in Sunday at 11:00 AM EST 🌱

As part of the supporter radio series, mixes were curated by the NTS team on the theme of roots. I selected the songs in collaboration with my Mom, with the intention of creating a sonic space that honors the music that my grandparents loved. Sheik, my grandfather, was a Guyanese American man who fell in love with Muriel, my grandmother, a black women from DC. The music they shared spans Brazilian Music, Funk, Latin Jazz and R&B. This mix, titled Deep Roots, honors not only the love they shared, but the connection my family and I continue to share with them through music.

Love you Poppy and Nani ❤️
