About
Afrocentric Sounds Radio is a free, online radio station featuring classical music written and/or performed by the African diaspora. Afrocentric Sounds Radio has a pretty eclectic program of music, reflecting the influence of other music styles--Spirituals, Ragtime, Jazz, Blues, Gospel, and other popular and folk music--on the creation and interpretation of classical music. The station also reflects the presence of Afrocentricity in Europe and the Americas. This is a place where the performance of Beethoven or Bach resides comfortably with compositions by Joplin, Ellington, Bonds, etc. The goal? To provide a broadcast venue for recordings that are currently underrepresented on mainstream classical radio in the hope that those hearing this glorious music for the first time will want to make it a part of that mainstream.
