Afrobeats meet classical music — The 77 Percent – DW.com

On this week’s show, we explore how Ludwig van Beethoven’s music continues to inspire a new generation of musicians. We meet musician Cassie Kinoshi, who blends her classical compositions with Nigerian influences. Then, we travel to Germany, where Beethoven’s music intersects with Afrobeats. Finally, we groove along with master drummers in Benin, training the next generation of percussionists.
