InRadio April/May: Opportunity, Opportunity at its core connotes hope, possibility and good things to come. However, it is not passive, it must be harnessed and if you wait too long it will pass you by. Opportunity is inherent to music, however sad a song, it was created, perhaps to personally expel and move on or perhaps to bring awareness to a problem in hopes of change, but hope has to exist to create.

By featuring artists who are using their music to create the world they would like to see we hope that InRadio 5.1 leaves some of that energy with the listener. Canadian fun lovers, You Say Party! We Say Die! insist that if you are doing what you really love then life feels like a party and that happiness translates through their music. Through their beautiful music, Andy Palacio & The Garifuna Collective are bringing awareness to and continuing their Garifuna Culture. The basis of Zaki Ibrahim's music lies in her philosophy that cultures exchanged lead to greater understanding and tolerance.

In the words of the brilliant Ellen Willis, who we sadly lost last November: 'My deepest impulses are optimistic, an attitude that seems to me as spiritually necessary and proper as it is intellectually suspect.'

Let InRadio 5.1 bring out a little optimism in you, it is essential for change.
