Clara Amfo
What happens when an RnB fan with a musical theatre obsession tries out Clemmie's classical mix?
Clemmie's guest is Radio 1 DJ and Live Lounge host, Clara Amfo. So what happens when a hip hop and RnB fan with a musical theatre obsession tries out classical? We take a trip into Clara's imagination as she describes a love scene conjured up by Beethoven and suggests why she thinks classical music works so well when sampled.
