Afropop Worldwide

A number of the CDs used in this program are no longer in print. Of those that are, we particularly recommend Mudejar and The Splendour of Al-Andalus by Calamus. Both of these projects involve Begona Olavide and other Spanish musicians, and are excellent throughout. The Music of the Troubadours is also a fantastic album. All three of these are available as this show first airs in March, 2004.
