The pianist who's putting the salsa into classical music
Salsa Nueva is a series of salsa-inspired piano pieces commissioned by Venzuelan-born pianist Elena Riu.
Elena joins Amanda PlatellÌýto talk about how she hopes to bring together two diverse communities – those from the classical concert circuit with those from nightclubs and salsa dance classes.
