Welcome to Episode_#23 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which are released on the first, second and third Mondays of the month. This podcast series runs in conjunction with the online radio station, Blue-in-Green:RADIO which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music. These shows are designed to give you some insight into the incredible range of talented presenters we're so lucky to host from all over the world and to geek out musically with us. This episode sees Imran return to San Jose, California, to speak to the creator of Ride The Vibe, which airs Monday nights at 7pm(UK) to discuss protest anthems. While soul music can boast an incredibly rich lineage of protest anthems and songs reflecting the social climate, we're currently in an age where art continues to feel the need to express itself and hold the mirror up to events unfolding around them right now. So we discuss what's currently out there and how we feel about it. www.blueingreenradio.com TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD Coming to us from San Jose, California, DJ Rhonnie Rhon projects the sunshine from her hometown every week providing 60 minutes of soulful house and nu-soul bliss. Ride The Vibe presents a thoughtfully-compiled and exquisitely-mixed selection making Rhonda's show an art-form all of its own. "Music has always been a solace for me. While all musical genres influence me, rhythms are what drive me and lead me on my journey of creating continuous flows of funky, soulful, deep vibes. Come take a ride with me."
