BBC OS Conversations: Beyoncé and the changing face of country music
The latest Beyoncé song, Texas Hold ‘Em, has topped the charts in the US and UK.

Host James Reynolds brings together three African American women in country music, including musician Rissi Palmer who first reached the country charts in 2007 and has had several hits since. And, three people involved in country music on three continents, in Argentina, Nigeria and Sweden, tell James about their love for country.
