Tawiah’s 4/4

Soweto welcomes South London singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and film score composer Tawiah as his 4/4 guest.

From Monday to Thursday this week, Soweto is joined by South London singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and film score composer Tawiah. She is widely recognised for her expansive and intricately layered compositions across her solo releases, and in recent years, as a film and television composer. Tawiah has also performed with artists including Moses Sumney, Micheal Kiwanuka, and worked as choir director for Chaka Khan’s Meltdown performance.

Her latest album, “Land of the Skies”, releases later this year.

Tawiah is sharing some of the music from her record collection that has influenced her, for 4/4. To begin her week, Tawiah chooses a release from an artist she has worked closely with and who is also a previous ‘Round Midnight guest.

There is also music from Chief Adjuah, MAE.SUN, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

‘Round Midnight is presented by award-winning saxophonist Soweto Kinch. This weekday late-night show celebrates the thriving UK jazz scene and spotlights the best new music alongside incredible acts from past decades.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play Round Midnight".
