7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Sounds of the Cities: Dakar, Bamako, Harare, Kinshasa, Santo Domingo, New York City Come Calling
In Afropop's book, the coolest cities in the world have a sound. You hear it in the nightclubs, you hear it coming from the radio. It could be from the past or the present. That sound becomes the soul of the city. We'll travel from Dakar to Bamako to Harare to Kinshasa to Santo Domingo to New York to soak up the sounds that make these cities one of a kind
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.
