Cultural Manifesto
Join Kyle Long as he explores the merging of a wide spectrum of global music with more familiar American styles, including soul, hip-hop and jazz.
In each Cultural Manifesto, listeners can expect to hear intriguing new sounds, alongside in-depth interviews featuring a wide span of musical pioneers, from Herbie Hancock to Anoushka Shankar. Long’s goal with his program is more than entertainment. “I really want to use music as a bridge to create cultural understanding,” he says.
Listen to Cultural Manifesto on 90.1 WFYI, via our online stream or on your smart speaker each Wednesday evening at 8 p.m. and again on Saturdays at 6 p.m.
