Live Streamed from the British Library as part of Jaipur Literature Festival London.

Music plays a central role in many of our personal life stories, and is also a powerful representation of the different cultures that we live in. In this lively session, broadcaster Nihal Arthanayake, music artist and activist Reeta Loi and award-winning chef Asma Khan delve into the music and songs they grew up with and are inspired by even today.

The session is moderated by Faisal Hussain of Trueform Projects, pioneers of the remarkable East in West Vinyl archive of rescued South Asian records.
