7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "The Mediterranean: From Spain to North Africa, Egypt, and the Diaspora in Paris
The ancient Mediterranean was a lively crossroads of Egyptian, Roman, Greek, and Arab cultures. To this day, there are common instruments, rhythms, and melodies. We hear from artists of the ground-breaking group RadioTarifa, who are passionate about reimagining and reactualizing this rich cultural mix. We'll also hear the beloved flamenco superstar singer El Camaron de la Isla, the superstars of Cairo, Orchestre National de Barbès as well as groups from Algeria and Tunisia.
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.
