Roots of Afropop
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
The musical phenomenon known as "Afropop" was pioneered in the 1950s with a guitarist and singer named Franco. Today: the remarkable tale of a Congolese musician and the rise of African pop music. And later: the music of Raul Midón draws on jazz and folk to a cappella and Latin influences. The New Mexico-born singer songwriter joins us for a live performance.
