Love songs: Luzmira Zerpa in session
In the run up to Valentine鈥檚 Day, Lopa Kothari picks love songs from across the world and is joined in the studio by Venezuelan singer Luzmira Zerpa for a special session.
As Valentine鈥檚 Day approaches, Lopa Kothari picks her favorite love songs from across the world, including a melancholic ballad from Quito and a spicy track from Marlene Dietrich and Rosemary Clooney. And, taking up the role of chief romantic serenader, Venezuelan singer-songwriter Luzmira Zerpa joins Lopa in the studio to perform a special love-themed session on voice and cuatro. A pivotal member of the London group Family Atlantica, Luzmira鈥檚 music blends traditional folkloric music from Latin America with afrobeat, blues and psychedelic sounds.
