1.20  Agnes Obel

Berlin-based, Danish-born singer/songwriter Agnes Obel is a classically trained pianist, contemporary composer and producer. She makes very evocative cinematic music, which is often used in films and her track September Song was made hugely popular after featuring in the TV series Big Little Lies. 
After two years of re-scheduling her tour due to the pandemic, she brings her unique sound to Auckland this October,  featuring a new group and light show created by her partner Alex Brüel Flagstad.

1.40  Curtis Mayfield Superfly 50 year Anniversary Special 

Chicago-born singer-song writer Curtis Mayfield was one of the most influential figures behind soul music -  and socially-awakened African-American music and that this influence has been under-appreciated.

Curtis Mayfield may not be the biggest name in soul, but his achievements in the 1960s and 1970s place him among the greats.  

From the finely crafted vocal group music of the Impressions in the 1960s to the harder funk social commentary of the 1970s, Mayfield was a music innovator.
Mayfield sang, wrote and played his own music which directly addressed the urban black experience in the 60s and 70s.

His biggest hits include 'Gypsy Woman’ ‘Move on Up’ ‘People Get Ready’ ‘Super Fly’ and ‘Freddie’s Dead’.
Mayfield was paralysed in 1990 when a lighting rig fell on him during a concert in Brooklyn. He died in 1999 aged 57.
