WMBS-REBELLE 8.24

Listen in as we chat with Matthew King, founder of this Global Groove Festival and Co-Founder of TapRoots/Musician/Artist/Teacher (and more) and Manou Africa, Co-Founder of ReBelle/Musician/Artist/Teacher/Husband/Father/Grandfather (and more) to hear their reasons for this concert and why global music is heart music. How can we come together to join our bodies, hearts, minds, souls, and voices into one energy flow? Now more than ever, we must come together to lift-up and support each other in the love of humanity and the common spirit of cultural expression and love. This beautiful conversation must be heard, and we must acknowledge that music is the common thread that ties us all together. Sound is the first thing that we recognize, a baby crying, a mother’s voice, music is understood without words. Check out: www.thetaprootsmovement.com/www.rebelleworldwide.com/
