Radio Buena Vida, a Govanhill-based online radio station, launched in 2020. Now a radio cafe on Victoria Road, it features diverse community content. The newest show, We Are Many, channels grief, pain, and determination into impactful, anti-racist resistance and the decolonial struggle for liberation in Palestine and beyond.

Last week the Greater Govanhill show, kicked off Buenafest, by bringing listeners all the latest from the new issue of our magazine, packed with stories about local artists, culture and subcultures.

Tune into our new three-part podcast, co-created by The Ferret, where we delve into three health inequalities identified as of greatest concern in Scotland - and look into potential solutions around the country and further afield.

Last Friday I hosted a live radio show with local people from the community. This is the story of how we managed to produce and present an hour long radio show together with the help of Greater Govanhill and Radio Buena Vida, and how it changed the way I feel about my performance anxiety.

When the group of New Scots we supported to produce a radio show won runner up at the Refugee Festival Media Awards, it was one of the proudest moments for Greater Govanhill – and a reminder of how important it is to pass the mic and provide a platform for new voices.

The Scottish Refugee Festival Scotland is returning from 16-25 June with the theme of hope – ‘showcasing inspiring stories and sharing hopes and dreams for a better future’

The radio show featuring stories from the project FONDS: Objects speak louder than words is a portrait of Govanhill's diversity. It can be listened back on SoundCloud, on Radio Buena Vida's page.

Radio Buena Vida has launched a crowdfunding campaign to support the last push towards opening their own café, a dedicated space for DJs and radio hosts to run their shows and for the general public to enjoy the music.

As part of Refugee Festival Scotland on Wednesday 22nd June, Radio Buena Vida will be airing the show as a culmination of a number of workshops with those with experience of the asylum system.

We’re so excited to bring you the fourth episode of our radio show for Radio Buena Vida. In this episode we took a look at the post-COP legacy in Glasgow with experience of hosting and drumming from Minga Indigena and collective music making. We also got a little festive, talking Christmas traditions from around the world.
