The Witch’s Flight is guided by the question; “What does freedom SOUND like?” Taking heed to this, amapiano becomes a portal and a sonic guide to diverse freedom dreams. The Witch’s Flight is the quest for a Black feminist sensibility structured in a series of sonic experimentations that center South Africa and the larger African diaspora.

This month in celebration of Black History Month, Zama has a special episode lined up honoring personal narratives spanning from Nigeria, South-Africa, Black Los Angeles and beyond.

Our astrologer, Monique Ruffin will be joining us for part two of our astrological forecast for 2025. Since we are also celebrating Valentine’s Day month, our astrologer will speak to us about the function of “Venus” which is the planet that governs love, pleasure and creativity.

In the second hour, joining us in-studio is Akin Omotoso, a Nigeria-South African filmmaker and director known for his thought-provoking storytelling and visual artistry. Whilst Omotoso has captured the interest of Hollywood directing Rise, a Disney+ biopic about NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo and contributing to Beyonce’s 2020 visual musical Black is King, he seems to maintain the edge of a griot, story-teller, and ultimately a filmmaker of decolonial makings. Omotoso continues to be a leading voice in African and global cinema, balancing commercial and independent projects while championing African narratives on the world stage.
