Music Time In Africa
United States
Приєднався 16 кві 2009
Hi! This is where you find fresh and exclusive music, original music videos and news about pan-African music. I'm Heather Maxwell, ethnomusicologist and specialist of African Music with over 30 years experience. I host and produce the Voice of America' radio program Music Time in Africa plus am TV Entertainment host on VOA's Africa 54, and I also produce lots of short stories and features exclusively for this Channel.
I travel to Africa a lot and each time I go, it's to meet musicians, get new music, and share what I find with you! My African music beat also includes the diaspora: from Europe, to Canada, to right here in the USA. I bring everything I do to you on this Channel. So have fun watching, come back often and subscribe!
