Studio Monkey Shoulder is dedicated to empowering and celebrating innovative grassroots music communities around the world.
After receiving an incredible variety of strong applications, Gilles Peterson handpicked our first five creative music projects for this year from the UK, India, USA, Taiwan and Nigeria. Each project presented both ambitious and innovative creative ideas, centred in keeping their music community vibrant and thriving.
Together we have set up a radio station in Miami; pressed new records in Lagos; launched a jazz festival in Taipei; helped programme an independent club space in Sheffield and transported a reggae sound system across India from Delhi to the remote jungle village of Nanadisa.
Each project completely unique, represents what we're so passionate about here at Worldwide FM.
