WELCOME!

We still have a little time left in WRIR’s Spring 2025 Fund Drive.

WRIR is all volunteer radio, Richmond’s home for alternative music, news and free speech, funded by your generous donations.

This evening I have new music from Ghana, Mali and Nigeria as well as lots of great sounds and Black music from Colombia, Cuba, Haiti, Honduras and more.

Thank you for your donations to keep this station on the air! Give yourself a gift and donate today!
