Planet Afropop: Somali DJs in America and Songhoy Blues

In this episode, we meet two women from the Twin Cities -- DJ Fawzi and DJ Yasmeenah -- who are challenging stereotypes while continuing a tradition of Somali-Minnesotan trailblazing. And we catch up with Songhoy Blues through a short conversation with Oumar Touré, bassist of the acclaimed desert blues group about their groundbreaking new album Heritage. We end with a tribute to Garifuna singer, activist and icon, Aurelio Martinez, who died on March 17. Produced by Akshaj Turebylu.
