Afropop Worldwide is the U.S.A.'s first and longest-lived weekly program on the music of Africa and the African Diaspora.
Says Billboard Editor-in-Chief Timothy White, "Serving as both keen entertainers and astute explainers in their programming of the absolute best of world music, the people behind Afropop Worldwide do a job that is impossible to overpraise."
