Heather celebrates Jazz International Day with Jazz and Afropopera musicians (Yes, that’s Afropopera!) John Kagaruki and Kokui Selormey, jazz fans, and several jazz tunes such as Manu Dibango and Moreira Chongquiça’s “Soul Makossa” and Richard Bona’s “Please Don’t Stop” featuring John Legend. Also, American University Ethnomusicology students and their professor Dr. Salois join her in studio to share their experiences learning about African music by playing the Drop the Needle music listening quiz and VOA’s Anasthasie Tudieshe takes the quiz, passing with flying colors. Maxwell’s playlist at the top of the hour includes new tunes by Tems, Amadou & Miriam, Uncle Waffles, Sean MMG and the Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit “Too Sweet” by Irish singer/songwriter, Hozier.
