We’re taking a moment to honor the blueprint of African jazz and resistance. On this episode of Afternoons with Zweli, we are joined in the studio by two of the most powerful voices in modern African music: the incomparable Zoë Modiga and the visionary Tresor.

Both artists are part of a massive tribute to the legendary Bra Hugh Masekela, and they’re getting personal about the man behind the trumpet. From their very first memories of hearing "Stimela" to the direct impact Bra Hugh had on their own creative paths, we’re exploring what it means to carry his torch in 2026. We also get a sneak peek into their upcoming collaborations and how they are continuing to push the boundaries of African sound and culture. It’s a celebration of heritage, a lesson in history, and a look at the future of our sound.

Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.

Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.

The Heritage Session: Zoë Modiga and Tresor on the Legacy of Bra Hugh

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5dcefa8e-00a9-4595-8ce1-a4ab0080f142/clips/691fe970-1ca2-465f-b981-b42000d0b59d/transcript

Stop the presses! On this episode of News It or Lose It, Zweli is correcting the record on the biggest soundtrack rumor of the year. Forget the Doja Cat whispers the word on the street is that Lady Gaga has officially teamed up with the "Swamp Princess" herself, Doechii, for the upcoming The Devil Wears Prada sequel.

We’re breaking down why this pairing makes total sense for the high-fashion world of Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway. From Doechii’s rapid-fire flow to Gaga’s theatrical powerhouse vocals, this is the collab we didn't know we needed. We’re also diving into Zendaya'sThe Drama and Sabrina Carpenter's "House Tour," but the real question remains: is the world ready for the Gaga x Doechii era? Is it a "News It" or a "Lose It"? We’ve got the receipts and the fan theories right here.

From A24 Thrillers to Pop Anthems: Zweli’s Ultimate Pop Culture Rundown

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5dcefa8e-00a9-4595-8ce1-a4ab0080f142/clips/08c5fb5a-9b83-42ea-ae7b-b42000ce2fbb/transcript

It’s almost Easter, but for many of us, the traditional road trip to the coast is looking a little different this year. On this episode of "Be Real" with Zweli, we’re cutting through the holiday hype to talk about the reality of the "Easter Economy."

Zweli shares his own frustration with the rising cost of fuel, admitting that the classic family getaway has become a luxury few can afford. He opens the floor to the 947 family, and the response is overwhelming: from students working extra shifts just to keep up, to families making the tough decision to skip the travel and embrace the "staycation." We’re talking about the financial squeeze, the pressure to "keep up appearances," and the radical act of finding genuine joy in simple, low-cost celebrations. It’s a conversation about resilience, real-world budgeting, and why the best part of Easter isn't where you go, but who you spend it with.
