Lopa Kothari presents the latest in global folk and roots music. Ahead of her performance at this year's WOMAD festival, Portuguese fado singer Gisela João shares two tracks: one for the road, and one that takes her home. Plus, new music drawing on the Korean folk storytelling tradition of pansori from Seoul-based band Leenalchi.
