RIDDIM CNXN on Shared Frequency Radio

In this show, I will explore the connection across global Black diasporic rhythms from dancehall, to reggaeton, dembow, amapiano, afrobeats, baile funk, hip hop, club music, and more. I plan to also interview guests (if possible) and create unique sets spotlighting the origins and fusion across these genres.

Guest DJ: Mamicana (CHI/NYC)

Mamicana is an eclectic artist who centers the Black diaspora and the Caribbean in her sounds. You can expect to sweat from dancing during her sets. Her sound is wide-ranging, crossing borders while remaining rooted in her Black Caribbean, South Side Chicago, Mexican identity. She created her own party "Gyrate" in April 2021 in response to a void of Black women headlining shows in Chicago's nightlife scene. It's been a monthly recurring party ever since. The party incorporates dancers and visuals to provide a unique experience and demonstrate Mamicana's vision in aligning music with culture and community.
