Tune in to Monsoon Radio alternating Tuesday evenings from 7-9pm only on WRFI Community Radio

Focusing on the music of the Indian subcontinent, its diasporas and its many influences, DJ Daniel Bass invites you to take a musical journey across Asia, from the Arabian peninsula to the Indonesian islands, with long rest stops in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

Music from Monsoon Asia, from traditional to modern, folk to fusion, religious to rock, and much more.
