Sitting With Gianluca
Interviews and informed portraits of contemporary American musicians with our stateside correspondent Gianluca Tramontana (in temporary and voluntary exile in Marseille). This week: Gianluca's guest is writer, historian and musician Banning Eyre. Banning and Sean Barlow co-run afropop.org, the go-to music resource for any global non-western music. He’s also written books on African guitar styles and takes us on a journey through the African "guitar regions”, demonstrating different styles from different regions on his guitar. From Detroit house music and hip-hop, old time banjo music, New Orleans rhythm & blues, rock & roll, jazz, flamenco, Mediterranean folk music and even some classical music – it all leads back to Africa. [Repeats Tuesday 12pm.]
