In this conversation, musician Werkha and conservationist Lee Schofield meet to explore how the loss of biodiversity echoes through the loss of culture. Chaired by Yemaya, the discussion will move between land, language, and memory, asking how the disappearance of our golden eagles or the silence of a valley might also signal a forgetting of song, craft, and subsequent belonging. Speakers:Tom Leah, Producer WerkhaHailing from Manchester with roots in the Cumbrian north, Werkha (real name Tom Leah) and his foot stomping, jazz inflected beats have been gracing the airwaves for the best part of a decade.Influenced as much by the rolling fells surrounding his village home as those hot sweaty times we share on the dancefloor. Werkha makes music for those crucial moments, the ones that make us feel connected as humans. When the bustle of city life comes up against the steadiness of rural perspective.Fascinated by this dichotomy, it’s the interrelationship between these two worlds and how they weave together that inspires Werkha to write. This push and pull is reflected both in his process and in the music. Striving to make something which straddles both worlds, Werkha creates dance music with a head and a heart. https://www.werkha.com/ Lee SchofieldLee Schofield is the author of , published by Penguin/Transworld.
