Georges Collinet Hosting Africa Center’s “Home Is Where the Music Is” at Noon ET
<p>
Our host, Georges Collinet, has partnered with The Africa Center to
present a video program “highlighting the stories, struggles and
insights of African musicians living and creating away from ‘home,’
whether on the continent or in the diaspora.”

today at noon</a> via The Africa Center’s Facebook, Instagram and
YouTube, but the full event will be available right here:</p>

In addition to its imitable host, the video has quite a guest list.
“We caught up with Sampa The Great, Wunmi, Jupiter & Okwess,
and Daniel Dzidzonu and through interviews and narration by legendary
African broadcaster Georges Collinet (Voice of America; Afropop
Worldwide), interspersed with photography, art, video, and music, we
explore notions of home, migration, identity, authenticity, cultural
collaboration and preservation through time and space in the African
context.”</p>
