A Beginner’s Guide to Lusophone Atlantic Music by Afropop Worldwide
While the musical networks that connect English, French and Spanish-speaking nations together are well known, far less attention is paid to the links between the Afro-Lusophone world—from Cape Verde to Angola to Brazil. This podcast offers a lightning tour of some of the most important groups that helped pull together this often-overlooked sonic universe. Produced and hosted by Sam Backer. [Distributed 10/25/2016]

Brazil at the Crossroads by Afropop Worldwide
Brazil has seen its ups and downs since it became an independent empire in 1822: with strongman leaders, military rule, populist democracy and more. In 2018, a politically weary nation faces a stark electoral choice between radically different futures. But whatever was happening in the halls of power, Brazil has always produced powerful, beautiful and ecstatic music, and always known how to party. On Afropop’s 2018 return trip to Brazil, we dig into new developments in MPB, mangue beat from Pernambuco, baile funk, new sounds from Amazonia, and live ambience from Carnival in Recife and Salvador. Produced by Banning Eyre. APWW #775.
