Contribution: Conversations With Amazing Muslims

In this special surprise episode of the Contribution podcast, I interview Br Zain Bhikha, the nasheed artist who needs no introduction. On hearing that he was coming to the UK to launch his first book, I wanted to touch base with my fellow South African whose melodies have been a constant in my children's lives and the lives of many others. We talked about creativity, growing up under apartheid, the role of the youth in effecting change, the power of collaboration over competition and the challenges facing young Muslim creatives. He also revealed something about himself that not many people know! You'll have to listen to find out...  As a celebrated nasheed artist for over twenty years and more than a dozen albums to his name, Zain's songs have graced homes throughout the world and touched the lives of others in profound ways. He has been on the Acclaimed Top Muslim 500 List for well over seven years and has been described as an influential global peace and unity ambassador.
