This week marks a special milestone as The Black Experience in Music (BEM) celebrates five years since its return to the WKDU 91.7 FM airwaves.
In 2021, the return was commemorated with a memorable 24-hour marathon featuring Black Drexel University alumni who shared the music, culture, and conversations that have made the program a cherished tradition. Throughout the broadcast, listeners enjoyed an eclectic mix of progressive jazz, straight-ahead jazz, fusion, reggae, and thought-provoking community conversations, reflecting the rich diversity and excellence of Black musical expression.
To celebrate this fifth anniversary, The Black Experience in Music is once again taking over the airwaves for a special 24-hour marathon, beginning 12:00 a.m.
