Africa On The "Radio" - Live On KEXP
Live on KEXP brings you the very best of KEXP’s world-renowned live in-studio and remote performances, including quite a few from African musicians.
When I worked in music stores, I was up to date on all things music. Those days are long gone, so the majority of names I see in the Live On KEXP roster are unfamiliar.
For purposes of what I do here at this site, it's worth nothing that a bunch of the performances are from African musicians. Go to their YouTube channel and search. I've highlighted a few shows here as well.
Here's the lowdown on KEXP, followed by a few podcasts that I wanted to highlight:
Since our founding at the University of Washington in 1972, we’ve remained focused on championing music from all around the globe - spanning eras, styles and traditions. KEXP operates one of the most influential listener-supported music radio stations in the world, broadcasting at 90.3 KEXP-FM, Seattle and through our website and mobile apps. On KEXP's YouTube channel, our world-renowned Live on KEXP sessions feature exclusive in-studio performances and interviews from emerging and established artists. From a public facility at Seattle Center, KEXP produces hundreds of live performances and music events each year, many of which are open to public audiences at no charge.
