Afropop Worldwide for January 03, 2007
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Afropop Vignettes: Guitar Heroes"
The guitar is at the center of so many Afropop styles we love. And it's still going strong even in the age of hip hop. In this program you'll hear from some well loved guitar heroes -- Djelimady Tounkara from Mali and D'Garu from Madagascar, and others -- as well as some less known artists such as jazz/Zim roots artist Louis Mlanga from Zimbabwe.
A one-hour weekly showcase of music and information from Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas. Hosted by Georges Collinet from Cameroon, Afropop Worldwide draws on an unprecedented array of reporters, artists, and cultural guides to present an hour that is authoritative, comprehensive, and hugely entertaining.
Afropop Worldwide blends a rich array of global music with lively interviews and insightful stories on world-class talents and the music they create. Each carefully crafted broadcast features live concert tape, exclusive interviews, visits to musicians' houses, urban ambiance from around the African Diaspora, and rare recordings.
