[Oroko Radio Newsletter 📮📡]

Our editor sat down with New Orleans African-American Musuem’s chief curator and director Gia Hamilton to talk Vince Fraser’s latest exhibition Ancestral Odyssey, curatorial stewardship, listening, and how institutions can be remade into vessels for memory-work and futures.

“The work finds me,” she says — and in this conversation, she traces how diasporic history, ritual, and resilience continue to shape her vision for building spaces of continuity. This dialogue moves from Congo Square to Afrofuturist horizons, from ancestral deposits to the possibilities of AI. It is both a history lesson and a call to imagine otherwise."

Raised in Lagos and now based in New York City, he brings focused intention to community organizing, tapping into spiritual frequencies that go beyond the surface. In 2014, he launched the GROOVY GROOVY party—a judgment-free space for wild dance floors, spiritual, mental, and physical rejuvenation, radical politics, and undeniably rocking talent.

[LONDON - THE CARPET SHOP]

One week to go before we hit South London for our first night at .peckham

Expect heavy-hitting Gqom essence from our Durban 🇿🇦 residents, Omagoqa [ ]
The trio stand as a testament to the ever-evolving genre, crafting a new wave of Gqom with the artistic intention of letting the masses feel the indigenous authenticity of the sound. Their music showcases a version of Gqom coined ‘uThayela’ and ‘Is’qinsi’.
‘uThayela’ translates literally to “corrugated iron,” commonly used as roofing material on many South African homes. In music, it's used to describe a rougher sound with a harder bassline—built for clubs.
‘Is’qinsi’ is described as an infusion of ‘uThayela’ and electronic elements typically associated with globally-influenced electronica.

They will be joined by Fat-lïp! [ ]
North West London-based Oroko resident whose roots span Grenada 🇬🇩 and Jamaica 🇯🇲.
A multidisciplinary artist, Fat-lïp moves between DJing, saxophone, and sound design, crafting immersive soundscapes informed by deep listening and cultural memory.
Their sets celebrate the vast spectrum of Black music, weaving together Bouyon, Gqom, Dancehall, Techno, and beyond. Fat-lïp's sound is both ancestral and futuristic, bridging histories and rhythms across continents.
As the founder of the online archive VEXED and a member of the collective HARDFOOD, Fat-lïp’s practice is grounded in honouring and amplifying the sonic expressions of the Black diaspora sounds.
