World Tour

摘要

During a recent 20-hour flight to Africa, Tom Freston, Viacom's co-president and corporate boss of MTV Networks, had plenty of time for reflection. A screen in the cabin of his corporate jet was showing its flight path over major cities, evoking memories of past trips. In Marrakech, the city in Morocco Freston had visited 10 times, he found a thriving "Rai" music scene. In Dakar, he'd caught a concert featuring Orchestra Baobob, masters of the Afro-Cuban fusion that was the pop music rage of Senegal in the 1970s.
