Voices this week looks at some December events to look forward to from the south Asian and African diaspora in Auckland.

This month, Prayas Theatre puts on their rendition of Mricchakatika, The Little Claycart, a Sanskrit play written in 5th century BC. We're talking to people behind the theatre production by Prayas.

Also in this episode, Kadambari talks to Thabani Gapara, music director of Jingle Beatz - a first-of-it's-kind Christmas concert with musicians and singers from the African diaspora, being held on December 9th in Auckland with Black Creatives Aotearoa.
