[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Afro-Montreal and the Progress of Love"
Producer Banning Eyre visits Montreal during the 26-year-old Nuits d'Afrique festival and meets great world musicians who've made that northern city home, including Zal Sissoko (Senegal), Syncop (Algeria and more), and Romel Ribiero (Brazil). Then, we preview a unique art exhibit, "The Progress of Love," a collaboration between museums in the US and Nigeria. We'll celebrate the event with a sampling of African love songs
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.
