Listen Later

Everyday is a good day to support and buy from Black artists

Formerly known as Black Bandcamp - Black Artist Database has a simple premise: to get more Black people paid for their music. It’s a crowdfunded resource of artists, aimed at bringing cultural and material support to the Black community. Alongside artists and DJs; they throw events, skills-building workshops and now have a podcast. It's also a project that seeks to call out the effects of white supremacy on creative access and daily lives; whilst providing an antidote rooted in the vulnerability and expressions of black creativity. 

Hear from Tanya Akinola aka T-N. She's a naarm-based DJ, writer and label manager who has been working alongside B.A.D. She joined us to chat through how she got involved with B.A.D, creating your own systems of creativity, and what it is to act in meaningful solidarity with Black artists. 

This week's show featured tracks by Black and First Nations artists selected by Tanya Akinola including Tygapaw, Dameeela, KMRU, plus unreleased tracks by Claddy World and Niks. To hear the full broadcast head to fbiradio.com/racematters
