Masisi is a Black Queer Afro-Caribbean music collective founded by Akia Dorsainvil that celebrates the cultural lineage across the Afro-Caribbean diasporas through events and programming.

Together with Studio Monkey Shoulder we launched Masisi Radio – an independent online station for the local community of Black, Queer and Trans DJs and artists in Miami.

As an independent hub for self expression, the intention is to celebrate the diasporic Afro-Caribbean influence on Miami’s music scene and to platform the creativity of Masisi’s ever expanding community through music and conversation.

To celebrate the launch, we hosted a series of Masisi Radio Takeovers on Worldwide FM, featuring resident DJs covering an eclectic mix of music genres from Techno and Jersey Club to Jazz, Disco and Haitian voodoo sounds.

'What a great opportunity to celebrate and learn about the lesser known but equally important cultural influences on Miami's music scene, using the power of the radio to amplify and give voice to marginalised communities in the city.' Gilles Peterson
