This Island Earth
Sunday June 19th, 2011 with Rob Bitschofsky
Visits from Murya and The Mighty Popo, two African-Ottawan musicians.

Two of Ottawa's musical sons hail from Rwanda and Burundi, and both are popping in today with news. Murya, a hip-hop musician originally from Burundi, is here to present his first album. Mighty Popo, from Rwanda via Burundi, is promoting a fundraising gig for the music festival he's building in Rwanda.
