Funky Revolutions is based on the One. Since 1994, host Khalid and guests have invited you to groove & celebrate the history of Africana music - the African diaspora and its musical reflections around the world.

We explore the past, present and future of the funk. From introducing trip-hop to Montréal in the early 90’s, to supporting hip-hop’s underground, to presenting ethno-musicographies of jazz, soul, reggae and afro-funk, Funky Revolutions embraces all grooves & the revolutionary spirit of the Funk, from the Black Arts Movement of the 70s to Indigenous defiances & liberations in the (post) colonial world.

Every Saturday 2 - 4pm (EST)

November 2, 2024: The Mothership Cassette Archives Celebrating 30 years of Funky Revolutions (The Origin Story)

As we celebrate 30 years of Funky Revolutions since November 1994, we thought we would go to the first time we flew a mothership by going back to our first funk show in March of 1992 at Western's CHRW 94.7 FM where we first started doing radio - a Friday afternoon jazz show called Beale Street Talking.
