Sea Beats took place throughout the summer months of 2022. Musicians Hannabiell Sanders and Yilis del Carmen Suriel (co-founders of Harambee Pasadia) worked with coastal communities and organisation Mental Health Swims across Seaham and Sunderland.

Through a series of collaborative music making workshops, they helped foster new connections with the coastline through rhythm and percussion, storytelling, and music making with traditional instruments and objects found on the beach.

In this episode, we hear from musicians Hannabiell Sanders and Yilis del Carmen Suriel, and participant and member of Mental Health Swims Seaham, Suzanne Green.
