Popular music across Africa and the Americas would be unimaginable without Cuban influence—copied and adapted on three continents.

In THE GOLDEN AGE OF CUBAN MUSIC episode, listeners will hear the stories and rare recordings of core styles such as “son,” as well as luminaries like Beny Moré, Arsenio Rodríguez, Celia Cruz ( shown here), and the Sexteto Habanero, along with lesser-known artists. 🎵💃🏿 LISTEN HERE >>> bit.ly/afropopcuba or click the link in our bio!

This week feels like summer turning up the dial.

Lagos is alive with new music, Harlem’s nights are running hot, and we’re sharing the story of Afropop’s very first intern — back in 1989, when everything started in a tiny home office.

It’s the kind of week that reminds you why music matters: it connects the dots between now and then, here and there. - https://mailchi.mp/afropop/bembeya-jazz-why-guineas-greatest-band-still-matters-2689258
