A collision of sounds and a system built through found materials transforming every space it enters.

Guest hosts (and fbi family) Madi Martin-Bygrave and Virginia Barahona chat to DJ, community-builder and artist Lulu Quintanilla. Her hand built sound systems are a conduit for questioning culture in a particular moment. An emblem of her candour and DIY ethos where transmuting possibility is found in the club, a youtube archive or a community gathering.

#170 Redfern Renaissance

Not only is this Dunya temporary, it is also worth saving. Until we are all free.

Open your ears and hearts with Sara El Youghun and Attu Ngor as they have a vulnerable chat with artist, poet, and kin Mustafa. Together they explore his new album Dunya, dedicated to those still living in this world, fighting, praying, grieving and holding on to hope.

Mustafa tells us about the importance of faith, culture and community as a lifeline. Sharing his Nubian roots in relation to Islam, Mustafa invites us to his world with dance and mercy, reminding us of the importance of growing together rather than apart.

This episode was made possible by Shareeka Helaluddin and greatly contributed to by Tim Worton, Mateo Baskaran and Toobs.
