Afropop Worldwide for December 26, 2007
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Afropop Vignettes: Brass Traditions"
There's nothing like the feeling of exhilaration you get from a great brass section. Not synthesized horn sounds but real trumpet, trombone, tuba, and sax players front and center. For this festive season we let the brass shine--from Benin to New Orleans to Cuba to Congo to New York City to Nigeria to Addis Ababa to Algeria and beyond.
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.
