Liberia: George Weah and Hipco sounds

Ask someone to name a Liberian, and most will utter one man’s name: George Weah. The former World Footballer of the Year is synonymous with the west African country, as evidenced by his rise to become president. Here we look back on his attributes on the pitch, and reminisce about some of his greatest goals during a career which included spells at Monaco, PSG, Milan, Chelsea and Manchester City.

We discuss his prospects to become Liberian president and delve into one of Africa’s most exciting genres: Hipco, a style of hip-hop typified by politics, slang and beautiful rhythms. We’ll play you the talented Sundaygar Dearboy to give you a flavour. Tweet us at twitter.com/rabonasnrhythms
