Throughout the show, he plays tracks celebrating The Music Is Black, inspired by the exhibition at the V&A East Museum in London.

Across TV, radio, iPlayer, Sounds and online, the BBC will reflect and celebrate some of the key genres, personalities, scenes and music that define the last 125 years of Black music in the UK through a variety of bespoke content and programmes.
