Freedom Sounds

Vintage tropical records, funk breaks, soul classics, jazz and
resistance music from around the world.


Freedom Sounds is an exploration in uplifting music from around the world, beginning in
a golden era of global musical awakening, the late 1960s into the early 1970s. With
Reggae, Soul and Jazz as the foundation, these musical trips include Samba, Highlife,
Disco, Rumba, Cumbia, Funk breaks, Salsa and R&B classics. Songs connect through
seamless transitions and thematic connections. Selections are carefully curated to
emphasize themes of Love, Unity, Resilience, and Collaboration. I champion artists of
color and celebrate the cultures from which these styles of music and recordings are
created.

 Hosted by DJ MIKEY Oh!
