At Home with Lizabett Russo
Conversations and live performances from songwriters living away from their homeland. For this episode, Verity Sharp calls up Romanian-born, Edinburgh-based musician Lizabett Russo.
As the year prepares to turn, Verity Sharp dials up singer-songwriters who aren鈥檛 living in their country of birth. Are they more mindful of their roots at this time of year? Has the pandemic made them feel closer or further away from home? Or is music all they need to help keep them connected?
Lizabett Russo grew up in communist Romania where learning a musical instrument was forbidden. Moving to the UK ten years ago, expressing herself in song became her lifeline. She recalls how her grandparents' traditional life led on the land made a powerful, lasting impression, and sings about the beauty of how swallows and humans build their nests alike.
Presented and produced by Verity Sharp.
