Congolese musician, composer and band leader, Tabu Ley Rochereau, has died at the age of 73 in Belgium. Rochereau's music is known throughout Africa and the world. He is said to have written over 2,000 songs and released 250 albums.
Bluesologist Norman (Otis) Richmond of Toronto, who met and interviewed Rochereau, is a special guest during the second hour of the program. Richmond and host Abayomi Azikiwe discussed the legacy of the great Congolese musician and politician.
Today is the 70th anniversary of the Cairo Declaration signed by former United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Britain and the-then Chinese nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek. The document pledged to drive Japan out of its strongholds in the Asia-Pacific region at the height of World War II.
A senior Communist Party of China (CPC) official has met with a delegation from Zimbabwe led by ZANU-PF spokesman Rugare Gumbo in Beijing. The CPC and ZANU-PF have a long-standing fraternal relationship extending back to the days of the armed national liberation struggle against British settler-colonialism in Rhodesia.
Finally, the Chinese military has begun to scramble the signals of unauthorized aircraft flying over the South Sea. Beijing has extended its authority over the strategic waterways to the chagrin of the United States and Japan. The U.S. has ordered its commercial flights to abide by Chinese measures in the region.
