We take the exit ramp off 2025 with Part 11 of our ongoing series in which we exalt the glory of Nigerian Afrobeat in its infinite interpretations, featuring Afrobeat bands from unexpected and surprising places. In this broadcast we explore dialects of the genre from Benin/Togo, Cameroon/Congo, Chile, France, Germany, Ghana, Guinea/Mali, Haiti/Canada, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Nigeria, Portugal/Mozambique, Sweden, the U.K., and right here in the U.S. of A. Everybody say "yeah, yeah!"

"Music for the Masses" invites you on an excursion of sound and rhythm. Discover the music of established and emerging artists, both signed and unsigned, on the international music scene.
