Afropop Worldwide for June 18, 2012
10:30 PM - 11:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Hip Deep Egypt - Cairo: Hollywood of the Middle East"
Egypt is in the news again as it faces its first free, post revolutionary presidential elections. We take this opportunity to remember the cultural ground the country stands on as our Hip Deep Egypt series paints a portrait of mid 20th century Cairo when it had become the unrivaled center for music and film production in the Middle East. Producers, writers, composers, actors, musicians, star singers, and creators of every stripe flocked here to take part in the city's fervent, international, progressive artistic milieu
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.
