Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, where I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious.

I chatted with Chilean saxophonist Melissa Aldana: her new ballads album Filin presents songs drawn from Cuba’s Filin music tradition and has just been released on Blue Note Records.

Thanks to Melissa for allowing me to play extracts from Filin alongside our conversation.

Get in touch to let me know what you think!

Don't forget the Quincy Jones quote that sums up why I do this: "Imagine what a harmonious world it would be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing."
