Planet Afropop: Musicians in the Crosshairs, Bombino, and Bobi Wine This edition of Planet Afropop focuses on African musicians in the midst of political turmoil. Some feel the call to arms; others refuse to take sides. Georges, Mukwae, and Banning consider the cases of Niger’s Bombino, an artist who simply wants peace, as well as activist artists of legend—Fela, Masekela, and Mapfumo. The podcast concludes with an extended, revealing interview with Ugandan artist Bobi Wine, “The People’s President.” And of course, lots of music.
