Music show: American jazz trumpeter Hermon Mehari releases personal second album

ENCORE! © FRANCE 24

France-based American jazz trumpeter Hermon Mehari has released a powerful second record called "A Change for the Dreamlike". Recorded in the French countryside during the first lockdown, it's more personal than his 2017 debut record "Bleu". He describes it as a "modern mixtape of dreams". Mehari drew inspiration from his childhood in the American Midwest as well as his family history. He tells FRANCE 24's Florence Villeminot about the track "A Conversation with My Uncle", where he plays along to a story his uncle tells about his father escaping Eritrea.

We also check out new music from French R&B queen Aya Nakamura and American singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus.
