About Afro*Disiac Live Radio CIC – The Heartbeat of African Caribbean Culture in Bournemouth
Afro*Disiac Live Radio CIC is a not-for-profit community radio station based in Bournemouth, Dorset, proudly serving Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, and beyond. We are more than just radio—we are a cultural movement, celebrating African Caribbean music, DJs, artists, and community spirit through the power of sound.
Our Journey
Back in 2007, two passionate professional DJs—Raymond Nyenje and Sula Kasujja—saw the need for a platform that celebrated African Caribbean music and culture in the UK. From that vision, Afro*Disiac Live Radio was born.
What started as a community-driven dream is now a thriving platform powered by a dedicated team of volunteer DJs and presenters. Five of them have been with us since day one, bringing their unique energy, sound, and passion every single week. Together, our team delivers over 30 hours of live shows, fresh content, and authentic vibes to listeners at home and worldwide.
Our Mission & Vision
At Afro*Disiac Live Radio, we believe music is more than entertainment—it’s a universal language of Rhythm, Unity, Love, and Positivity. Our mission is to bring people together, create opportunities, and celebrate the richness of African Caribbean heritage.
We’re passionate about empowering individuals through:
- Youth workshops in DJing, music production, poetry, and lyric writing
- Community events like our award-winning Reggae Weekender, a festival loved across the South Coast
- Inclusive broadcasting, blending traditional community radio values with modern digital technology
Our vision is simple: to be a cultural bridge that inspires, uplifts, and empowers communities across the UK and beyond.

From Bournemouth to the world, Afro*Disiac Live Radio continues to inspire, empower, and connect communities. We proudly collaborate with organisations like:
