Afrobeat and the legacy of Fela Kuti (12/12/2025)

Expires today 10:00pm

With less than two weeks until Christmas, Kamilah McInnis finds out about a special event in Worthing - complete with its own black Santa. Producer Bree shares the news you might have missed, including how a Medway youth group is supporting Hurricane Melissa relief efforts with the help of some reggae legends. It's been 25 years since the New Afrika Shrine opened in Lagos, an entertainment centre in tribute to Afrobeat creator Fela Kuti. Kamilah looks back at his life and plays the iconic tracks that laid the foundation for Afrobeats. And hear the new Christmas song from gospel singer Michelle John, who you might remember from The Voice, as she joins the show. Join Kamilah McInnis every Friday from 7pm–10pm for great music, good vibes, and stories from our African and Caribbean communities.
