One World. Many Rhythms. A Shared Journey Forward. As the year turns and the road opens wide, Groovasmique invites you into a fresh stretch of the journey—a daily road trip through the sounds, stories, and rhythms of the world. World music isn’t a genre here.
It’s a way of listening.
A way of choosing curiosity over habit, rhythm over routine, and connection over noise. Every day, Groovasmique steps beyond the dominant Western pop lane to explore other ways of breathing time—through African polyrhythms, Latin grooves, Caribbean soul, Global jazz, Electronica, Folk traditions, and future-forward fusions that refuse to stand still. What began decades ago as a record-store category has become something far more alive: a living, breathing soundscape rooted in place, ancestry, movement, joy, resistance, migration, and love.This is music that honors where it comes from without being trapped there.
Music that welcomes collaboration, diaspora voices, and hybrid identities.
Music that gently—and sometimes fiercely—pushes back against the disposable and the over-produced. Groovasmique carries this lineage forward as a daily practice. Each playlist is chosen like choosing the road for the day: desert or jungle, city or coast, sunrise movement or moonlit ceremony. Music here is not background—it is nourishment. A way to stay awake, present, playful, and deeply human.
Across everything Groovasmique has shared—on air, online, and through listener response—a few clear truths emerge:The core sound pillars already present include:
Listener descriptions and implied reviews consistently point to:
Taken together, the message is clear:
Groovasmique a safe, joyful, exploratory space—and the door is wide open to expand even further. For instance in my early musical tastes I loved Medieval music. I could easily drop some Baraoque and Roll in there. So as I sit here pondering I have to say I am going to delve deeply in 2026. Not just for Ha Ha's but just because. It has been a long strange trip. So many genres. I do keep coming back to African rhythms often, Reggae and Ska Vibes alot, World Music and Global beats in the mix too. So much of the same but adding to the Gumbo. Still an open format with no block programming, ad free, dj free on the main mix. Podcast by the summer as I have already agreed to collaborating with a friendly soul on that. So Groove on my friends and drop by once in a while. On an interesting note the average listening time is 122 minutes listening each day per person. So happy to have you in the rumble seat of my retro groovebus! This month I will start reviewing albums old and new. Have a safe and hopefully prosperous new year. I myself am now unemploted so looking for a new path and income for 2026. Change is good. Groove on.
