Description
In this episode, our reporter in Lagos, Fay Fay, turns us on to two rising stars in African music’s dominant genre, Afrobeats. First Klaz, also known as Helicopter Boy, has made his from humble beginnings to become a top contender, and Kemuel has evolved from a rapper, modeled on gangsta stars, to become a tuneful and insightful Afrobeats singer/songwriter. Fay Fay takes us inside their journeys. We end with Harrison Malkin’s report on Colombian band Monsieur Periné, with a powerful new song about climate change and its ramifications for Colombian agriculture.
