Afropop Worldwide for July 18, 2007
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: The Immortal 1970s
The 1970s was a golden age for pop music around the world, and certainly in Africa. A recent flurry of re-releases have for the first time made some of this music available again. Georges plays songs from some of his favorites--including artists and styles unknown by most Afropop fans including the Green Arrows, Ebo Taylor, Sorry Bamba, Balla & Ses Balladins and others.
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.
