Simona Smirnova is my first Lithuanian guest. She is known for playing the kanklés, a traditional Lithuanian instrument. She's on tour right now promoting a book she just released called Kanklés in New York. A fascinating fact: her band consists of someone from Brazil, someone from France, and someone from Italy... that's four nationalities in one band! You'll find out more interesting things about Simona when you listen to our conversation.
