Afropop Worldwide for October 01, 2008
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Afropop's Road Show"
With new visa fees, a weak dollar, and the decline of the CD business, it's not easy for foreign musicians to mount a successful U.S. tour these days. And yet they keep on coming! On this program we catch up with an exciting collection of hearty, traveling Afropop musicians. We'll hear insights, memories and fabulous music from Nigeria's Seun Kuti, Mali's Mory Kante, Umalali and The Garifuna All-Stars, Lobi Traore, Joep Pelt, and more.
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.
