Rise Up

Recorded in isolation by Yusuf Ahmed & Munir Hossn, "Senhora Vida" is a joyous homage to Iemanja through the lens of Afro Brazilian culture.

Brazilian producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist, Munir Hossn, has collaborated, produced and shared projects with artists as Joe Zawinul Syndicate, Quincy Jones e The Global Gumbo All Stars feat. Alfredo Rodriguez, Concha Buika, Hermeto Pascoal, Roberto Fonseca, and Mayra Andrade.

An Anglo-Italian-Pakistani drummer and producer raised and based in London, Yusuf is an active musician in a wide variety of genres in the thriving London scene. This single marks the ﬁrst release representing one of his many inﬂuences which make up the blueprint of his musical aesthetic.

The song also features members of London-based lusophone jazz ensemble Caravela, with Joseph Costi on keyboards, Telmo Sousa on guitar and Jansen Santana on percussion.

"Senhora Vida" will see a digital release on June 27 via Yusuf's own self-titled imprint.

Call It Love

Welcome to Episode 1 of 'New Music Energy' - my new radio show dedicated entirely to new music. 

Since finishing my BBC Residency, and having pretty much all my gigs cancelled this year, I haven't had as many opportunities as usual to share my favourite music with the world! I know I have my NTS show but that often has different themes and I just wanted a space where I could focus on new artists and releases. So here it is...! 

To kick things off, I've done a little round-up of my favourite music and artists I've discovered in 2020. This is going to be a monthly show (at least to begin with) and if you have some music you'd like to submit for the show, the address is: sendmemusic@nabihahiqbal.com
There are no boundaries! I like to explore all genres because all music has something to offer.

Below is the track list for this show, along with links to the artists' music - if you like a song, you can explore the releases further, and if you really like it, help to support the artists by buying their tunes :)
