7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Summit of the Americas 2009, part 2: The Latin Alternative Music Conference
"Say it loud, I'm Latino and proud!" says DJ Raf. Join us for highlights from the annual Latin Alternative Music Conference in New York City where ska, rock, hip hop, electronica, rock, and old school boleros collide. The common theme is the excitement of experimenting with fusions of international pop and roots from home countries Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Argentina 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.
