Cerys Matthews continues delving into the archives to put together a specially curated mixtape of her favourite stories from across 25 series of the BBC Radio 4's Soul Music.

Each episode of Soul Music takes a different piece of music – it might be a pop song, or a hymn, or a piece of classical music or world music – and looks at why it moves us and what it means to different people.

In the second of three episodes, Cerys's chooses:

Miles Davis: ‘So What’
Kyu Sakamoto: ‘Sukiyaki’
Albinoni/Giazotto: Adagio in G Minor for Organ and Strings
Violeta Parra: ‘Gracias A La Via’
Puccini; ‘Che Gelida Manina’ [‘Your Tiny Hand Is Frozen’]
Ladysmith Black Mambazo: Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika
Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 ‘New World’
Cerys Matthews own rendition of ‘Myfanwy’.

Producer: Mair Bosworth.

Made for BBC Radio 4 Extra and first broadcast in January 2018. Show less
