Introduction

AFRIKAHN JAHMAL DAYVS, MC: Radio Producer and  Host.  Afrikahn
has been working in radio since 1971 starting out in Oklahoma on two
different stations. A few years later, the greater Bay Area became his next
movement on the airwaves with shows on over 6 stations including internet
radio. His love of Jazz and Blues, it’s roots, inspirational musicians and especially the desire to showcase an array of the amazing breadth of  talent that the Bay Area has to offer lead him to produce & host the BAJABA (Bay Area Jazz And Blues Artists) radio show on independent station KKUP/KPFA. BAJABA Showcase was created by the late, great Jazz Activist Doug Edwards, (‘The Doug of Edwards’ as he was known), who passed in Sept. 2010. Afrikahn has continued on and grown the fan base of this uncompromisingly integral part of our Bay Area musical landscape while also hosting shows throughout the week.
