Masisi is a Black Queer Caribbean creative collective founded by Akia Dorsainvil that explores and celebrates the cultural lineage and narratives across the Afro-Caribbean diasporas through different events and programming.
We’re delighted to be helping set up Masisi Radio – an independent digital radio station and platform for the local and diasporic community of Black, Queer and Trans musicians, DJs, thinkers, and artists in Miami.
As an independent hub for self expression through sound and radio art, the intention is to celebrate the diasporic Afro-Caribbean influence on Miami’s music scene and empower the cultural production of Masisi’s ever expanding community through music, conversations, events, and collaboration.
Masisi Radio will be taking over The Garden Social Club in Little Haiti, Miami from September. Watch this space for a special cross-broadcast with us and a launch party.
'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
