Afropop Worldwide for July 09, 2012
10:30 PM - 11:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: We visit one of the world's last untamed natural and musical wildernesses: The Guyanas. Riding along bumpy jungle roads and in dug-out canoes, Afropop producer Marlon Bishop travels from Suriname to French Guiana for the Transamazoniennes Festival, located in the remote border town of Saint-Laurent-Du-Maroni. We enjoy the region's fascinating cultural stew, where French Creole, maroon, Amerindian, Hindu, Javanese, and Dutch elements all mingle together on the outer fringes of the Amazon and hear styles like kaseko, bigi pokoe, aleke, and kawina
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.
