ABOUT BUENA VIDA
Built independently. Powered by community. Connected through culture.
Radio Buena Vida: The Sound of Collective Action.
Radio Buena Vida (RBV) is an independent internet community radio station running live from Café Buena Vida bar and creative space in Glasgow.
With over 250 resident DJs/presenters, ranging from up-and-coming selectors to globally recognised musicians plus international guests broadcasting across genres, across cultures, across borders, across the globe, our aim is to showcase the true diversity and talent of Glasgow to the world.
Created by humans. Curated with freedom. No algorithms. No adverts.
Hear the latest exciting and forthcoming underground and grassroots music, chosen by tastemakers and those who produced it themselves. Hear the voices and stories of our diverse community, who have 100% freedom and who contribute to shaping, not just RBV, but the cultural landscape of Glasgow and beyond. Uninterrupted. Undiluted.
More than just a radio station.
We organise free DJ & Production workshops, host live music events and collaborate with like-minded community organisations. See and chat to our presenters on the live stream, keep an eye out for special remote broadcasts on Channel 2, listen back to all shows on Soundcloud and come visit us and enjoy the shows live with some food and drink in our wheelchair accessible, fully licensed café bar and community hub, Café Buena Vida, where we serve quality Spanish-inspired, locally sourced produce. We are open Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays from 12:00-22:00 and Fridays and Saturdays from 12:00-00:00.
