REGGAE EMBASSY with host Fiifi SELAH
REGGAE MUSIC is evidently the strongest medium through which the voice of the masses is widely heard. The genre still remains as the sole axis upon which people revolution spins. It speaks of the masses hard journey through the struggle and their burning thirst for redemption. To keep masses constantly updated of the conscious multi-faceted role reggae is playing, Fiifi Selah brings to the world “Reggae Embassy”, his radio show that runs on Pluzz 89.9 fm [Ghana] from Monday to Saturday every week.
Reggae Embassy serves as a platform for education, motivational philosophies, lifestyle, talent building, great good causes, commercials and entertainment.
The whole program is charted into 6 segments, one segment a day. A two-hour span per segment, except for the Saturday’s segment which spans four hours --- starting from late dawn to mid morning.
Below is the COMPLETE TABLE of the program.
Monday - Holistic and Health Issues [1pm-3pm GMT]
Tuesday - Selector at the Control [1pm-3pm GMT]
Wednesday - Reggae Summit [1pm-3pm GMT]
Thursday - Requests and Shout-outs [1pm-3pm GMT]

NB: International listeners, you can tune in to Pluzz 89.9 fm on the internet via pluzz899.com, but, please, note that Ghana is on the Greenwich Meridian Time [GMT], thus, to catch Reggae Embassy, first consider the GMT equivalent of your local time before you tune.
Holistic and Health Issues - this is strictly a welfare-based segment dedicated to life-saving education. It takes care of all the aspects of human health: [mental, physical, spiritual], thus, Fiifi brings on board medical gurus well versed in mental and physical health knowledges to conscientize the public on vital health truths. He also puts on board carefully-picked knowledgeable mystery students and faith school professors to come air out certain very deep esoteric lectures. Always, something far beyond the horizon comes up during this segment.
Selctor at the Control – on this, the Reggae Embassy crew collectively agrees on a specific selector/DJ and invites him/her to the station to come show their DJ’ing skills. Each Tuesday gets a different selector/DJ, but any one selector/Dj’s repeat appearance on the is possible strictly by popular demand. This is when the original Reggae Embassy DJ takes a chill, lending his position to a guest DJ.
Reggae Summit - the name shouldn’t be confused, thinking this program is strictly dedicated to news topics pertaining to reggae music. It takes the name “Reggae Summit”, as the topics are being deliberated upon on a reggae platform, but the topics discussed are of different aspects. On this one, Fiifi builds a panel of higher learned resource persons drawn from various institutions to come enlighten the public on serious current issues, be it socio-economic, political, activism, lifestyle, history, art, entertainment or any other alarming issue. The mission here is multi-faceted, so the topics are diversified.
Requests and Shout-Outs - this is when Fiifi conveniently treats his listenership to a more interactive show, playing their top favourites and giving them an open chance to say their mind and also dedicate songs to their friends, family and celebrities.
Ghana Reggae Roadblock – also called “Buss Di Youth”, is simply Fiifi’s special kind mission to give exposure to incoming Ghanaian reggae-dancehall artistes, and he uses this segment to do just that by introducing them to the real world ---- playing their songs, broadcasting their brief bio and fairly ends up creating a first generation fan base for them.
Reggae Express - a less talk more music time when Sabbatical roots reggae rockers are spun. With “Reggae Express”, Fiifi and his crew treat their listenership to one of the weekend’s early music therapy and this happens to be the only period the Embassy serves the reggae world four hours on end.
