Founded in 1999 and formerly known as Sigaw ng Bayan, Radyo Kapwa is an inclusive Filipino/a/x community and cultural radio show that celebrates the diversity and difference of people with roots to the Philippines. With three historical colonial invasions, multiple waves of migration worldwide, and over 7000 islands, we recognize and honour that Filipino/a/x/s are not a monolith. We provide a wide range of programming, music, and discussion topics to reflect this diversity.

Radyo Kapwa aims to share their platform with grassroots community organisers and organisations, as well as interviews with inspiring members of our community. Our framework is based on values rooted in decolonization, and restorative and transformative justice. Our mission is to create an anti-patriarchal, anti-racist, anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia, faith inclusive, non-ableist, trauma-informed space.

July 12, 2023: Ep. 50: MJ Cabana, Artist, Singer & Saxophone Player

For today’s broadcasting, we had a lot of giggles but also moments of vulnerability with our dear kapwa, MJ Cabana, fiercely queer, artist, with smooth velvety serenade-like voice and saxophone player making you sway unconsciously.

Stay tuned and listen to Kapwa MJ, born and raised in Montreal. We talked about their experience as a saxophone player and how their art inspires them to remain authentic to themselves.
