Global Roots Radio
A Variety show with weekly programs from various immigrant/ethnic communities in the Kansas City area, from their own viewpoint through cultural, musical and original language.
In the first hour we revisit a show from August 7th and listen to Amado Espinoza and Karen Lisondra play Dohol, Ney, Charanga and bag pipes made from household items such as a brooms stick, crayola markers, vacuum tube and X-ray sheets!
In the second hour we explore empowerment through music. Rappers Fr33man and Scott SK Miller share their bilingual rhymes about their experiences as hyphenate Americans, immigrating to and growing up in Kansas City…empowerment and cultural navigation through hip hop music!
Radio essays from DW tell the stories of Berlin techno clubs banding together to campaign against the right-wing party, Bucharest music festival teaches acceptance and belonging, and Zarghoona Hassan who runs two radio programs for women and young people in Afghanistan!
