Meet the guitar prodigy determined to keep playing despite his disability

Karim Albert Kook was born in Algiers, and raised in the south of France. A successful musician, he has opened concerts for BB King. His single "Barbès City Limits" - a song dedicated to the Parisian neighbourhood which mixes blues sounds with North African influences - has been a major hit in France. But for the first time, he's agreed to talk about something other than his music: being disabled. Our reporters went to meet him.

A programme prepared by Patrick Lovett and Rebecca Martin
