from Q with Tom Power
This week, Canadian R&B musician Aquakultre (a.k.a. Lance Sampson) releases his new album, 1783.

Lance traces his own family lineage back to those early settlers. He joins guest host Garvia Bailey to discuss the stories behind the record — and how that history continues to reverberate today.
