Among our fave radio shows and podcasts: Afropop Worldwide – afropop.org – is an internationally syndicated weekly radio series, online guide to African and world music, and an international music archive, that has introduced American listeners to the music cultures of Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean since 1988.
Hosted by one of Africa’s best-loved broadcast personalities, Georges Collinet, and produced by Sean Barlow, the radio show is distributed by PRX to more than 100 stations in the U.S., as well as stations in Europe and Africa.
In 1988, Afropop was launched by NPR as a weekly series. It was the first of its kind and, almost 40 years later, the program has expanded its vision to include the music and cultures that encompass the entire African diaspora.
