Africa Lives On The BBC
Online and mobile content
Africa On Your Street
Celebrating the African music scene across the UK, the
Africa On Your Street website offer tips on gigs, clips
of their favourite CDs, news from the studio and gossip from the dance
floor - covering styles from Afrobeat to zouk and from laid-back mbira
to full-on hip hop.
There are profiles of the big international artists on
tour and interviews with a wealth of African musicians.
Look out for special Africa On Your Street events - in
partnership with The Roots Initiative - around the UK throughout the summer
in Liverpool, Bristol, Brighton, Newcastle and at the Womad Festival in
Reading (Sunday 31 July).
BBC mobile services
A distinctive BBC WAP Africa Lives on the BBC service
will let people access online content while on the move.
The service will include quizzes, interesting facts about
Africa, and a downloadable Artists' Gallery in collaboration with Africa
05.
