How ground breaking musicians are influenced by the music that's all around them. Featuring music by The Beatles, John Cage, The Minions, Perez Prado, Lou Vega and Panjabi MC.

In this programme, we look at ground breaking musicians and find out how musicians are influenced by the music that's all around them. Some musicians take an old song and make a new version of it in their own style. One of the great things about people coming to a new country is they bring their own styles of music with them. We explore how musicians mix different types of music together to make new types of music. Featured artists include The Beatles, John Cage, Village People, The Minions, Perez Prado, Lou Vega, Celia Cruz and Panjabi MC.
