Today's Highlight: Roots Reinvented in Mali and Egypt - Ngoni Ba re-wired the ancient ngoni to create a dense, 21st century sound. Then we'll hear a very different take on the ngoni from Sidi Touré who made his U.S. debut at BAM in Brooklyn. And we'll go to Egypt to hear how artists from Port Said are making new music for instruments that go back to the time of the Pharoahs
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.
