The team behind the record labels Preference Records and The Village is here with an internet radio program.

This month’s episode features special guest William Roper, multi-instrumentalist and longtime member of the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra.

Roper’s upcoming release, Lost in the Sands, spans three decades of creative work. A visionary artist, Roper blends tuba, mouthbow, khaen, and handmade horns to craft deeply personal soundscapes that reflect Los Angeles’s spiritual jazz lineage and its ongoing story of experimentation, resilience, and community.
