<< Mating Calls
Today on Mating Calls is a very special tribute to socialist and activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In paying homage to his indelible legacy, we bring you songs of radicalism and empowerment, highlighting some legendary Black artists in the first hour. You’ll hear from the likes of Nina Simone, Alice Coltrane, Curtis Mayfield, Erykah Badu, and so many others before we transition into a rather unpatriotic punk set to get you ready for your Monday night.
