For the third year running, BritishBlackMusic.com/Black Music Congress (BBM/BMC) will be supporting the annual Make Music Day (MMD) with a DJ set by Kwaku BBM, livestreamed on the BBM Sounds channel on Mixcloud Live or Mixcloud.com/live/BBMed.
Music fans are encouraged to join the ‘British Black Music History 1912-2022’ – a century-plus journey through an eclectic mix of British black music, irrespective of genre or vintage, on Tuesday June 21, noon-midnight.
You can show your support by joining the livestream on Mixcloud at https://www.mixcloud.com/live/BBMed, where they can interact with the show through the chat facility, including making their musical requests.
Going forward, our British Black Music Month 2022(click here) plan includes curating a BBM Sounds webcast channel on Mixcloud and a regular Mid-Week Special webcast on Wednesdays 6-9pm BST, starting from Wednesday June 29.
We are looking for DJs and presenters to host their British black music-focused purely music or music and talk shows. This can be either 1, 2 or 3 hours shows presented live or pre-recorded within:
a) the Mid-Week Special Wednesday 6-9pm slot or
b) another day/time slot of your choice.
