The Music of Resistance is a six-part documentary series that tells the stories of musicians who fight repression and sing about injustices.
They are unique musical personalities from some of the world's most troubled areas - what makes them different is their need to communicate their politics through music.
They are all ambitious and talented but for them 'making it' is not about diamonds and sports cars - it is about radical political change.
They come from Nigeria, Mozambique, the favelas of Brazil, Cape Verde, the desert of the Southern Sahara and inner-city London.
Framed in their historical context and current political circumstances, The Music of Resistance will illustrate their messages through live performances, interviews and images from the communities they sing about and inspire.
Presenter Steve Chandra Savale is the musical force behind Asian Dub Foundation - a London-based group that has for years brought a strong anti-racism message to an international audience.
