Was Rhode to Africa a worthwhile project?

PROVIDENCE, RI - RezaRitesRi.com and Mount Hope Neighborhood Association need your help. Rhode to Africa was a project we produced that combined an Interview Series with a Concert Series. The idea was focusing on underrepresented cultures, topics, and people, and drawing in an audience that was diverse in age, gender, ethnicity and birth country.

Did we accomplish this? Did you listen to an interview and did you find it interesting? Did you attend a concert and did you enjoy the music? Did you receive updates and did you find them helpful? Did you skip the project all together, and is there a reason why? Should we plan to create a second Rhode to Africa project?

Tune in this Saturday, December 13, from 9 - 11 AM (EST) to hear me, Reza Rites doing ALL MUSIC. I’ll be dj’ing on 90.3 FM, WRIU in Kingston RI, a station you can also get online at www.wriu.org. Why? Because I’m this weekend’s host of “Voices of Women,” a show which airs weekly on Saturday mornings.

I’ll be playing women like Bjork and MIA; Jill Scott and Sade; Corinne Bailey Rae and Sharon Jones; Queen Ifrica and Sister Nancy and much, much more.

Can you really miss this? Are you sure you don’t want to roll out of bed? Listen by tuning in to 90.3 FM, or by streaming it live online using one of the two following links: http://131.128.160.72:8000/listen.pls or http://131.128.160.72:8005/listen.pls. Or visit www.wriu.org for more info.

Sunshine and laughter,
Reza Rites
