Ka Lerato La Love explores the varied expressions, aspects & emotions in the realm of love through a medley of classic and contemporary Afrohouse, Amapiano & Afrotech love songs. Curated to tug at your heartstrings while enabling a deeper connection to the heartbeat of the music, the first part of the show features snippets of track-inspired translations, reflections and anecdotes from the perspective-shifting New-York best-seller “All About Love” by Bell Hooks. Joining me in the second part of the show with a oul-stirring love-inspired house mix is special guest DJ, AQUTIE.

PS: if you’re a love-song-making producer or have a love song you’d like to hear on the show, I’d love to hear from you.
