Afro*Disiac Live Radio CIC is a Not-for-Profit organisation based in Bournemouth (Dorset). It exists as a bridge to provide diverse cultural enrichment to the Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch Communities and beyond through the love of music.The Radio Station was born in 2007 by Raymond Nyenje and Sula Kasujja, both DJs by profession with Black ethnic minority background. Their motivation was to foster Afro Caribbean DJ’s, music and artists giving them an online music platform to perform and play their music to the public. What inspires you the most to continue today?Today all programming is created and produced by 10 volunteer DJs and presenters. Five of them have been with the radio station since it started. They help run daily activities, such as administration, streaming and creating content; they also present live and recorded shows.
