Music show: Lubiana on how playing the kora helped her embrace her mixed heritage

ENCORE! © FRANCE 24

Hailing from Belgium and Cameroon, singer-songwriter Lubiana plays the kora, an ancestral West African instrument traditionally played exclusively by men. She's just released her first album "Beloved", mixing upbeat pop and afro tunes. She tells FRANCE 24's Florence Villeminot about how playing the kora helped her reconnect with her roots and embrace her mixed heritage.

We also look at new releases from British guitarist Eric Clapton, French singer-songwriter Juliette Armanet and Cuban sensation Cimafunk.
