Afropop Worldwide for July 01, 2009
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "AfroPop WorldWide Concert Highlights"
Over the years we have recorded many extraordinary artists passing through New York City; some well known favorites of Afropop fans and some less well known. The common denominator is a unique voice and mastership of their style. Our recordings catch these artists and their bands at golden moments in their careers. Featured are Adewale Ayuba (Nigeria), Baaba Maal (Senegal), Willie Colon (Puerto Rico/USA), The Four Stars (Congo) and others. Get ready to clear the floor, crank it up and dance!
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.
