Featuring newly released music of the African Diaspora, this program sees acoustic ensemble music as a developing world jazz incorporating styles and rhythms which draw from indigenous sources. On the air since June 1984, The Freedom Principle features new releases from the disparate genres of the African Diaspora with occasional forays into specialized thematic programs. Recent programs include Maloya Blues from Reunion, Funana from Cape Verde, Gwoka from Guadeloupe, Congolese Rumba, etc.
