Music 101 for Saturday 10 January 2015

12-1pm 

Aaradhna live at the Apollo
New Zealand music history will be made in New York City this week when Porirua born, Los Angeles based soul singer Aaradhna steps on stage at a sold-out Apollo Music Café at the Apollo Theatre, the first time a Polynesian performer has headlined a venue that has witnessed performances from soul greats like Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Ella Fitzgerald and Gladys Knight. Melody Thomas checks in with our own Soul Sister No. 1 before she treads the Apollo boards.

Franco-British indie pop outfit François & the Atlas Mountains, led by Brussels-based François Marry, are currently in the country to play a handful of shows and squeeze in as many swims and walks in the woods as they can. Ahead of their set at the Chronophonium festival in Coromandel this weekend, Kirsten Johnstone talks to the Atlas Mountains’ frontman about his bilingual approach to song craft.
