Join us for a special World Kiswahili Day episode celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Tanzania and Kenya. On July 7th we honor Kiswahili as one of the ten most widely spoken languages globally, with 230 million speakers. We also update you on the Billboard Hot 100 and the BET Awards, where South African singer Tyla won Best International Act and Best New Artist. Special thanks to Swahili speaking VOA broadcast journalists for their contributions to this episode.
