Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Michel Gondry & Pearl Lam

We have South Africa's a capella choir Ladysmith Smith Black Mambazo performing.

Maverick film director Michel Gondry reveals how he creates his film soundtracks.

Gallery owner Pearl Lam talks about her struggle to become a Chinese art entrepreneur.

We take a look at the life of Cotton Club singer and dancer turned Hollywood actress and civil rights activist Lena Horne.

And the street art that was initially seen as subway vandalism - the graffiti kings of New York remember their heyday and the risks they took.

We also pay tribute to Hollywood comedian and Oscar-winning actor Robin Williams.
