Jamiroquai percussionist Sola Akingbola will be the special guest on the African Essence radio show that will be broadcast on OpenAir Radio on Thursday 7 February between 5 and 6pm (GMT). 

"African Essence is a music/arts show featuring hottest new music & classics from African and her wider diaspora from traditional routes to electronic shoots."

Sola will be talking about his recently released album Routes To Roots, Jamiroquai and his life in music.
