Off the Air...for now!

I know..I know....

The months have vanished and 5th World Radio almost vanquished. NO more on WMCB 107.9FM (no fault but my own).

I miss the show and want to deliver it via Podcast.

Hold you breath, its coming soon to a spot near you.

Rush of Blood

Spring has returned and a New Day has dawned!

With that fresh touch of warm air descending, suddenly everything feels alright.
On Monday, I was feelin' alright, so I felt moved to move a little and hit 107.9FM with some funky sounds.
Hope y'all felt what I was feeling
and remember to get out and get some of that fresh Freshness in to you.
Peace,
SemDente

Only on------------------------------ ----WMCB 107.9FM

This week in 5th World...

Yeah, I bailed the live show today.
I did phone it in, but the playlist never got aired. Oh well, there is always next week.
Stay tuned folks.....and dont forget the rebroadcast on Thursdays 9-11pm.

If you are one to jump the gun, hit 107.9fm at 8pm and get the real deal from Amy Goodman on our daily broadcast of "Democracy Now!" http://www.democracynow.org/

And if this weeks playlist gets dropped on Thurs, expect to hear a trio of Marleys (maybe Rita next week..), Antibalas, Nina Simone, the Roots, Tony Allen, RZA, Orchestra Baobab, Count Ossie, and hot Cape Verdean singer Mayra Andrade (holy smokin' photo w/biography!!) and so much more.

5th World What??

So what's up with 5th World Radio?

Basically it is the music that I, myself, have been wanting to hear on the airwaves whenever I hit the pavement or am chillin' at home with friends. There is so much stunning shit out there, yet little of it gets airtime, and the same commercial stuff gets overspun relentlessly. With the creation of our community radio station, WMCB (give a link when they get a page), in Greenfield, MA, I chose to be the change I wanted to see/hear.

And that is the beauty of community radio: We control the content of what we have the opportunity to play/listen to by DIY. There is no unseen executive controlling content and dictating top projected demographics. I play Fela because he is dope. I bump MadLib because his shit is sick. End of story.

Which segues into 5th World content.
On the 5th World there is no musical limitation, no genres pigeonholed into 2 hour format. I play music that I think is beautiful, raw, authentic, and soulful. Some of it will make you dance in the passenger seat, some will make you sit down and think, and some will make you do things you didnt think you could.

5th World is a collection of sounds from the past, present and future: Traditional, Exploratory, Multi and Mono Cultural. Locked into orbit, your ears will be washed with cosmic AfroBeat, North Indian Flute, American Folk, Lukumi, Ethiopian Jazz, Underground Hip-Hop, Trinidadian Calypso into the infinite
5th World is for our ancestors and for our future. We are nothing but lost without both, and so this music is dedicated to those that have come and those that will.
5th World is our time to succeed in bringing peace through music, art, dance and creative expression.
Music is a Weapon, but music is also Music; Its own undeniable force.

peace,
SemDente
