Spring Breakers

Available for 35 days

British weather might be slipping back to its regularly scheduled programming after a week of banging sunshine, but Manara’s choosing to stay delusional. The sun is very much still shining on the island of Pure Spice, thank you very much. The toes stay out, the jackets stay off and the blends stay ON. This week, Manara's dug through the troves for a selection of silky Asian pop and R&B, BBQ bangers, and every strand of summery UKG. There's too many highlights to list, but you should really lock in for the butter-smooth frequencies of Tamil music collective cavya sound, a Lolly-Pop anthem from Natasha Noorani, a cut from that stunning Chor Bazaar compilation AND a proper heart melter from Khayote's new EP. PLUS: Hold on tight for a clubby Shades On mix with more twists than a trashy romance novel! Produced in Birmingham by Glenvale Media for BBC Asian Network.
