Windrush Special 2025

This is a crucial exploration of the musical and cultural heritage brought to the UK by the Windrush generation. We connect the Caribbean soundscapes with their profound influence on British music, documenting the rhythms, resilience, and stories of the pioneers who laid the foundation for modern Black British culture.

Before 2005

A pioneering series dedicated to documenting the foundations of UK Urban Gospel. Before the widespread digital age, this vibrant and influential scene shaped countless artists and communities. We track its unique sound, key figures, and the faith-driven narratives that define its history before the 2005 milestone.
The flagship series that covers a broad spectrum of genres, movements, and global influences. From foundational blues and jazz to contemporary Afrobeats and grime, we provide an educational and chronological deep-dive into the genres that continue to define the global music landscape.

Tune in to Affinity Xtra, the home of Gospel Music of Black Origin. We’re live 24/7 with shows, music & culture that rep the UK & beyond.
