NOW ON UJIMA RADIO AFRIKAN ANTHEMS!

Hosted by none other than Dr J – he’s bringing you the Greatest Afro-centric tracks on the planet featuring music from the African continent and the African diaspora, featuring Afrobeats – the eclectic sounds of Africa – incorporating wide-ranging traditional and contemporary genres and legendary musicians through the ages.

Dr J is of Sierra Leonean and Liberian heritage who, as a result of his love of music, became an accidental DJ since his school days in Freetown hosting parties, discos, and as DJ backup to live acts.

He continued his craft since arriving in Bristol in the late 1980s covering classical and contemporary music from around the world – Pop, Soul, R&B, Funk, Jazz, Hip-hop, Reggae, Dancehall, Soca, UK
Garage, Latin, etc. and including all African Beats & Rhythms on the continent and diaspora – hosting African Nights in the clubs, pubs, and community centres in Bristol and South West England.

Having worked at a range of radio stations, Dr J’s heart landed here at Ujima Radio! Starting out as a life-long Ujima Radio volunteer since its formative days and as a presenter starting with World Anthems and currently African Anthems – both shows featuring worldwide Afrocentric music.

Tune in today 12-2PM on Ujima Radio!

Another anti-immigration demonstration was hugely outnumbered today by counter-protesters. In central Bristol the Hampton by Hilton hotel on Bond Street was the target of the latest ‘illegal migrant protest’ group.
But as reported by Bristol24/7 they brought flags and banners but the few dozen people waving their Union Jack and St George’s flags struggled to make themselves heard over the chants of the counter-protesters.
Last week in collaboration with BCfm Radio, Ujima published 'WE DONT DO THAT HERE' a one-hour audio documentary weaving together multiple in-depth interviews with those who lived it: refugees inside the hotel with their children, activists and local residents on the streets, police officers, youth workers, charity leaders, journalists, and community broadcasters. Their voices reveal the fear of that week, the courage of those who stood in solidarity, and the deep divisions that surfaced under pressure.

The programme also investigates the powerful role of media and misinformation, such as how a single false claim spiralled into riots, how national outlets inflamed stereotypes, and how community radio and grassroots networks became lifelines of truth. Listeners hear not just about what happened, but why, and what it tells us about Britain in an age of polarisation.

Listen now on Soundcloud and coming soon to Ujima Radio & BCFM.

In August 2024, unrest swept across the UK after the tragic killings in Southport, fuelled by online misinformation and weaponised fears about migration. In Bristol, the tension erupted in Castle Park
