Afropop Worldwide for April 09, 2008
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Afropop Worldwide Travels to Seville Spain for WOMEX 2007"
The Afropop Worldwide team goes to WOMEX in the heart of old Al-Andalus, Seville, to gather interviews, live recordings and mountains of new CDs not available in the U.S. This is the most important pow-wow for artists and world music pros anywhere. Over 30 artists will perform. Some of our favorites include: Siba (Brazil); Kasai All Stars (Congo); and Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 (Nigeria). We visit with the artists and soak up the WOMEX energy.
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.
