WOMEX Rises in 2021
After the pandemic forced it to go virtual for a year, the WOMEX world music expo was back in 2021 for its 27th edition in Porto, Portugal. In this program we hear live performances and interviews from key showcase artists, including Gnawa innovations from Bab l\u2019Bluz, Uganda\u2019s Nakibembe Xylophone Troupe, brassy Ghanaian gospel from Algote Oho & His Sounds of Joy, Afro-funk bass virtuoso Manou Gallo, Egypt\u2019s Mazahar, and Sudan\u2019s Ebo Krdum, plus the world\u2019s hottest fusion of Afro-Cuban music and funk from the one and only Cimafunk. Produced by Banning Eyre and Sean Barlow.\n\nAPWW #846
