Every month, Zaereo unveils fresh music from across the world on New Voices, featuring an artist who will delve into their record, sound, and inspirations.

For the first show of 2025, she explores sounds from New York City after a recent visit, and chats with Bristol-based trio Jabu to hear about their latest dreamy and experimental album A Soft and Gatherable Star. They talk all about the process of recording, their shared influences, and forging a community in Bristol as well as further afield.

Zaereo is a radio host, DJ, and curator currently based in London with close ties to her past European homes. Connecting international rock, jazz, and all manner of experimental meditations, she holds a proper place for the sounds of the global South and cross-cultural exchanges.
