Kamilah McInnis welcomes back Tokunbo Koiki for an update a week after she made history as the first black person in the UK to donate a kidney to a complete stranger. Former footballer turned gardener Tayshan Hayden-Smith, who was behind the Grenfell Garden of Peace, stops by before a talk in Brighton. From Brighton to Kenya, DJ Jesse Mwenda shares his mission to build the largest African musical archive in his home country. And for all the disco lovers - you're in for a treat as Kamilah spins a special sample show tracing the disco classics that shaped the sound of some of today’s biggest hits.

For great music, good vibes, and stories from our African and Caribbean communities, listen to Kamilah every Friday from 7-10pm.
