10:30 PM - 11:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: THE FERTILE CRESCENT OF MUSIC: HAITI, CUBA AND LOUISIANA
This is the first of a two part series celebrating three of the most elaborate carnival cultures that flourish at this time of year. The first sets the scene, giving us the fascinating and relatively unknown story of how people and culture traveled from Haiti to Cuba to New Orleans. We'll look at the distinct African roots of these three regions, and compare what their musics sound like today
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.
