ABOUT KUNJANI HEITA AFRIKA
Led By Patrick Daniels, Kunjani Heita Afrika’s music is inspired by the Ghoema Carnival Sounds and other musical styles from Cape Town and influenced by the soulful infectious rhythms of South Africa. Their original tunes form a dynamic blend of Afro Jazz with funk, latin, soul & gospel.
ABOUT STANI GOMA
Stani, the vibrant host and mastermind behind Flight 1067 to Africa on PBS-FM, pilots listeners on a mesmerising journey through the heart and soul of African music every Sunday from 3:00–5:00 pm. With an eclectic blend of rhythms and melodies from across the continent, Stani’s program is a sonic passport to the diverse soundscape of Africa.
Hailing from the Congo, Stani’s roots in Brazzaville, just a stone’s throw from the pulsating beat of Kinshasa, the epicenter of African dance music, shaped his musical DNA from an early age. Immersed in this rich musical tapestry, Stani’s passion for African rhythm was ignited, becoming an inseparable part of his identity. His profound knowledge and infectious enthusiasm have made him a cherished presence on the airwaves, earning him respect and admiration from audiences far and wide.
