Afropop Worldwide for September 24, 2012
10:30 PM - 11:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: At the this time when Mali marks its independence anniversary, and in light of the ongoing crisis there, we reprise this very special edition of our program when in 2003 we traveled to Mali's legendary Festival in the Desert set in the rolling sand dunes about a half day's drive from Timbuktu. We visit artists in their tents for unplugged, acoustic sessions by Khaira Arby, Bocar Madjo, Lobi Traore and others. Plus highlights from Festival concerts. And we visit with Festival participants including Robert Plant
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.
