Radio Station 88.1- African Summer Events

This is Sundays schedule because I happened to be listening to it today, but click on whichever day you're interested in and the programing will vary.  I happened to tune in today between 4-6 and caught the Africa Kabisa show.

AFRICA KABISA -- WMBR 88.1 FM -- WWW.WMBR.ORG

Africa Kabisa! is a weekly African music radio program that broadcasts SUNDAYS 4-6:00pm EST on WMBR 88.1 FM, Cambridge, MA. We also stream live on the Web and have digital archives at http://www.wmbr.org .

Since 1992, we have been sharing the vibrant sounds of contemporary and classic African music with the Boston area and beyond. Africa Kabisa is hosted and produced by DJ Julia Mongo.

We endeavor to present an array of the best in music from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Afro-Caribbean world with the sounds of rumba, soukous, ndombolo, makossa, couper decaler, son montuno, mbalax, kompa, zouk, kwaito, mbaqanga, benga, salsa, highlife, afrobeat and more. We also feature a weekly calendar of African events in the Boston area, and have guests join us for interviews on a wide range of political and cultural topics.

Our weekly playlists are located in the Database link. You can also email us to request receiving emailed playlists on a weekly basis. Event announcements are posted on this website several times a month.
