Afropop Classic December 30, 2021

Georges Collinet and Banning Eyre close out 2021 with a wide-ranging tour through music that touched them in 2021, and a look ahead at 2022. No Top 10 or “best of the year” lists, but rather a taste of things overlooked, and a few surprises. Featured is Georges and Banning’s interview with American music icon Herb Alpert, and a sneak preview of Georges’ upcoming salute to a giant of Congolese music, Sam Mangwana. Expect a few laughs, and plenty of fantastic music to savor as 2021 winds to a close.
