About RiverRun Festival: Afropop Worldwide: The African Rivers Project
This evening of music focused on two great African Rivers, the Niger and the Congo, will be hosted by Georges Collinet, a veteran broadcaster best known to Americans for his 35-year run as the host of public radio’s Peabody Award–winning program Afropop Worldwide, and Banning Eyre, a writer and producer for Afropop Worldwide since its beginnings in the late 1980s.
The first part of the evening will present a journey through the Niger, featuring an ensemble of world-class traditional musicians from Mali, Niger, and Nigeria. The second part of the evening presents the contemporary music of Congo, joyous sounds from a region with a troubled history. The music will be enhanced with visual imagery of these two spectacular rivers.
The performance is curated by Sean Barlow and Banning Eyre of Afropop Worldwide.
