Lucy Duran introduces two programmes called "The Hidden Music of Venezuela".  It is a country frequently in the news for political unrest, but little known for its immensely rich music and culture. She explores the Afro-Venezuelan traditions of the Caribbean coast with rare field recordings made especially for the programme.

In the second programme, Lucy seeks out the harp-playing cowboys of the vast central plains: a hot, lonely and unwelcoming landscape with one of Latin America's most exquisite musical traditions.
