Podcast: Out Of Africa #17

Out of AfricaPodcasts

In this show, we travel through the sounds of fado, desert blues, afro-Cuban jazz, afro-Cuban, afrobeat, Arabic reggae, and reggae!

We kick off the show with the melancholic voice of Mariza, from Portugal, in “Quem me Dera”, a song was written for her by the Angolan singer-songwriter Matias Damásio. We are then joined by Ballaké Cissoko feat Patrick Messina e Vincent Segal in “Jeur Sur la Symphonie”. Afterward, we travel to Europe accompanied by the classics of Jacques Brel and Charles Aznavour, “Ne me quite pás” and “La Bohème”, respectively.

We come back home, to Africa, with Sona Jobarteh, Rokia Traore, Nahawa Doumbia, and Fatoumata Diawara! We then continue our trip through world music, taking an African perspective, and finish with “War”, a reinterpretation of Bob Marley’s hit, by Neissatou & Nikkle Mai which is sung in Arabic and Japanese!!

Music is the glue that connects humanity as ONE!
