Listen to the Sun. June 5, 2022 special edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. This is our second episode in the commemoration of Black Music Month. The program features our regular PANW report with dispatches on the call by the South African government for the strengthening of solidarity among the BRICS states; Namibia reports that activity at its major port has increased in recent weeks; there has been another Pentagon-coordinated airstrike in the Horn of Africa state of Somalia leaving five people dead; and the African Union has expressed concern over the rising food deficits in the Sahel region of the continent. In the second hour we look back on the history of African music which developed in the United States during and after the period of enslavement. In the final hour we will also look at the history of Jazz and its origins in the U.S.
