to bring our kids forward into the world of music as soul
food, cultural knowledge,” Mason explained. “We mix all
musical genres liberally into one giant basket, and we call
it worldOne.”
Tuning in to keCg you’re as likely to get reggae as you
are to hear Native American music, classical jazz, Chinese
opera, gamelan, Celtic, Serb-Croat, Russian liturgical,
and much more. You may also tune into city council
meetings or school board meetings, PSAs from nonprofit
organizations, and many other functions you’d expect from
a public radio station.
The 21st Annual keCg worldOne Festival is also coming
up on July 3rd and 4th at Cerrito Vista Park. As Mason
describes it, “It’s a very family friendly, beautiful, sunny,
flapping-flag, sunflower, power day in the park.” It takes
about 10 days to build, it’s volunteer-driven, and averages
12,000 attendees. This year look forward to the return
of the Magical Nathaniel, Circus Imagination, and
Hoopin’ Heather! As well as a worldly variety of musical
performances.
As far as what happens next for keCg, they’ve just got to
get the word out and keep mustering support. They’ve
begun streaming their broadcast. Download the TuneIn
app on your smartphone and search for “keCg” or
“worldOneradio” to listen in. You can also head to kqed.
org/news/el-cerrito-high-school to hear some of the
stories broadcast from this year’s Youth Takeover event.
“This is a real privilege to be able to have and preserve
a public radio entity this long,” Mason said. “It’s been 40
years … we do need direct listener support, which is even
more of a challenge now that there’s so much free media.
It’s a very robust, multicultural learning environment.”
