Grammy winner Angélique Kidjo makes her Proms debut at the Royal Albert Hall with her nine-piece band in a tribute to salsa star Celia Cruz. Clara Amfo explores the links between the music of Cuban diva, Cruz and the traditional Yoruba music that came to America during the slave trade, and how Kidjo has combined these influences with the West-African Afrobeat and juju styles.

At the Royal Albert Hall, Cerys Matthews introduces a Prom featuring music from sci-fi films. The London Contemporary Orchestra performs excerpts from cult soundtracks together with recent works from Hans Zimmer and Mica Levi. Fans of Alien: Covenant, Interstellar, Under the Skin, or Gravity will recognise this repertoire.
