Preserve the Heartbeat of Africa's Musical Heritage

Our weekly, one-hour public radio show, hosted by broadcasting veteran Georges Collinet, brings you stories and sounds that you won't find anywhere else. Distributed by Public Radio Exchange (PRX) to over 110 stations in the U.S., our content is also available via podcast and streaming at our award-winning website www.afropop.org.
