Today's Highlight: THE SOUL OF SAO PAULO: ROCK, RAP, AND FUTURE MUSIC FROM THE ENDLESS CITY
Afropop Worldwide travels to São Paulo, the largest city in South America, to check out the exciting music scenes stirring among the city's cosmopolitan youth. We'll check out the vibrant São Paulo indie rock scene, with artists like Holger and Lulina drawing on a broad palette of Brazilian traditions and international styles. Then, we'll delve into the world of São Paulo hip hop, which flourishes in the city's poor outskirts. And we'll hear from some classic São Paulo voices, such as singer/composer Arnaldo Antunes
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.
