Thus far I haven´t given any background info or context for this blog and the projects we´re visiting, so let me start….
(I will be in pieces so stay tuned.)
Part I
The women’s cooperative saw that community-run non-commercial media is essential for social justice and decided to start an outlet for local information and education. Radio Mulukukú (also known as Radio Revolución) was started in 2004 with the help of Radios Populares (RP) and has been going strong ever since.
We got connected with Radio Mulukukú through the fabulous Allen Gomez of RP, an excellent collective based in Chicago that helps groups struggling for social justice build low-power FM community radio stations. They have helped a number of groups throughout Latin America. And judging from what we´ve seen in Radio Mulukukú they do great work! It is a well-built station with a well-trained staff that previously had little or no experience in radio.
Check out their website and throw some support their way:
If you click on ‘Projects’ and then on ‘Radio Mulukukú’ they have a video of the inception of the station.
