Afropop Closeup by Afropop Worldwide published on 2016-07-12T19:34:53Z These succinct podcasts, substantially funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, feature the voices of curious and talented producers focusing on single topics: Haitian radio stations in New York; a young “born free” rapper’s quest to uplift the social content of South African hip-hop; how musicians are becoming activists in post-conflict Mali and Democratic Republic of Congo, and much more. Afropop Closeup podcasts are an extension of Afropop Worldwide’s Hip Deep series, both offerings substantially funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. These podcasts build on the central philosophy of the Hip Deep series: music is encoded history, a reflection of historical, political, spiritual and cultural evolution, and ultimately, the very core of human experience in our fast-changing, globalized world.
