- Its aim is to "musically educate listeners of all ages, with an emphasis on youth and black and brown people."
Theo Parrish and his Sound Signature label have started a new radio programme called W.O.K.E.
According to a statement on Parrish's Facebook page, W.O.K.E. (which stands for "We Only Keep Evolving") is "intended to musically educate listeners of all ages, with an emphasis on youth and black and brown people."
The statement adds: "Much of the radio programming we hear around the city and across the nation is not aligned with our visions of self-determination, community and self-love. Because we acknowledge the power music and sound has to programme people, Theo and the rest of the team felt compelled to offer an alternative to commercial radio programming. We at Sound Signature wanted to produce a radio programme that centres empowerment, history and the future. And want to make sure this music gets to OUR people."
