Kyungso Park in session with Lopa Kothari

Korean gayageum player Kyungso Park in session with Lopa Kothari plus a Road Trip exploring the Narcocorridos or 鈥榙rug ballads鈥 of Mexico.

Korean musician, composer and improviser Kyungso Park in session with Lopa Kothari, performing on the gayageum 鈥 a traditional Korean 12-stringed zither. Our Mixtape has been put together by Afro Celt Sound System founder Simon Emmerson, and for this week鈥檚 Road Trip, journalist Betto Arcos explores the Narcocorridos or drug ballads of Mexico - a controversial genre of folk-songs which tell stories of the real lives of drug smugglers and cartels.
