BBC Radio 3 - Late Junction, Verity Sharp with Roots Manuva's mixtape

Verity Sharp presents an exclusive mixtape from British rap great Roots Manuva.

Verity Sharp presents a mixtape from British rap great Roots Manuva. Plus a new album from accordionist Martin Green and Per Norgard's work for percussion.

Adventures in music; ancient to future. With Notting Hill Carnival kicking off this Sunday, Verity Sharp presents a special edition of the Late Junction Mixtape, compiled by rap great Roots Manuva, celebrating the history of black British music. 

Once hailed as "the voice of urban Britain", Manuva has been a leading figure on the UK music scene since the 1990s. He is revered as both a rapper and a producer and known for fusing hip hop with dub, ragga and funk. He mines his record collection in search of the inspiring and the obscure. 

Plus a new album from avant-accordionist Martin Green, a track from folk songwriting great Robb Johnson and percussion music from Danish composer Per Nørgård inspired by Eastern mysticism and the forces of nature.

Produced by Rebecca Gaskell for Reduced Listening.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
