Palestinian, Lebanese & British DJ Kamar (pronounced Ah-Mar) presents Tealeaves, a new show dedicated to exploring sound through migration.
In each episode Kamar highlights music made by migrant artsits, both new and old, from a plethora of time and places, inviting migrant artists, zoning in on their culture and community, exploring how the movement of people has intersected with music. From the South Asian migration to London and the Asian underground movements of the 90s to the Western-development of Rai music from Algerian migration to France.
For the inaugural show, Kamar welcomes multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ Mera Bhai, member of the South Asian creative collective Daytimers. Together, they explore British-Indian migrant communities with an extensive set of innovative music created since the 1980s.
