Afropop Worldwide for September 12, 2007
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Afropop Second Acts"
In the world of Afropop, there ARE second acts. Think of Cesaria Evora, the Mahotella Queens, the Buena Vista Social Club and other artists and styles forgotten or neglected in their home countries who receive a second wind to their careers from international attention. We'll hear the classic Congolese rumba sound of Kekele and the Rumbanela Band and visit with the artists. Cuban pianist Bebo Valdez joins forces with Spanish flamenco singing star Diego "El Cigala." Eusebe Jaojoby from Madagascar recently toured his hot salegy dance band in Europe and we'll enjoy concert highlights. Plus a private performance by Oswin Chin Behilia from Curacao.
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.
