Jazz, rock, hip hop, world music. Each music genre has its own programme or its own channel. Narrow-mindedness is still around and even more so it seems. High time to radically tear down some walls. Free Radicals is an eclectic programme that only has one motto: good music. This Special Radical Mix includes Hailu Mergia, Meridian Brothers, Retox, Big Jones, Wu Man, Melt Yourself Down and Rosa Ensemble.
