Had another great week of workshops - it's so nice to see new kids at the lessons everyday. Our latest recruit, Pedro came in to take a look round on Wednesday and then stayed and learnt how to speak into the mic and edit his own jingles. He arrived shy and left smiling, which is what it's all about. Ariane is emerging as a real star and has nearly finished planning her first live show which airs next week.
In fact we're all gearing up for the first live shows on April 30th when the station soft launches. You'll be able to listen to the progress of shows on the website - expect broadcast to be shaky at first but by the time we go to press and hard launch on June 4th, to co-incide with the party on the 6th, we're hoping to have ironed out any creases. Check out the new website online at www.afroreggaedigital.com. Marky boy has done an amazing job putting it together - we've had to eliminate the flash element of the site because the connection is just not good enough here in Brazil to support it. We hope you like the new version too.
