Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sat. Sept. 3, 2022 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. This episode coincides with the 42nd Annual Detroit Jazz Festival where we will pay tribute to artists Chucho Valdes, the artist-in-residence this year and Abdullah Ibrahim (formerly known as Dollar Brand) who is also appearing at the four day gathering in downtown Detroit. We will feature our regular PANW report with dispatches on the water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi where the overwhelming majority Black Belt municipality is under constant threat from the state authorities; President Cyril Ramaphosa of the Republic of South Afirca has been invited to the White House to discuss trade later in the month; the United States administration of President Joe Biden has requested an additional tens of billions of dollars in taxpayer funds to continue the war in Ukraine; and a global economic crisis emanating from the U.S. is looming across the planet. In the second and third hours we focus on the legacy of Jazz music internationally. We listen to an interview with Abdullah Ibrahim on his origins as an artist within the context of South Africa, the U.S. and the world.
