Representing the alternative in European music and attitude, Match&Fuse takes up Worldwide FM’s purpose of uncovering artists hell-bent on staying true to themselves.
Belgian composer and multi-instrumentalist, ESINAM joins Debra in conversation about being drawn to music early, how her independent spirit helped her to carve out a unique path, and the connection to her Ghanaian roots. There are also new releases from fellow Belgians, Stellar Legions, German bands Ark Noir and Deadeye, the legendary Charles Lloyd, and an underwater recording by David de la Haye.
