Afropop Worldwide for March 04, 2013
10:30 PM - 11:30 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: Much has been made of Mexico's rich blend of Spanish and indigenous customs, but recently, there's been a surge of interest in exploring Mexico's "Third Root": Africa. Slavery existed Mexico much like in the rest of the Americas, but for a variety of reasons, black history in Mexico has been silenced over the years. In this Hip Deep episode, we use music to uncover that history as travel around Mexico in search of Afro-Mexican sounds.
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.
