SVARA is more than just a platform—it’s a pulse that amplifies the voices of DJs, creatives, and artists, while uncovering the hidden gems of world music that often go unheard in mainstream spaces. Founded by Mark and Josh, SVARA Radio was born out of a need to authentically represent our city’s rich musical heritage and culture—something that was missing in comparison to the independent radio scenes of cities like Amsterdam, New York, and Barcelona. SVARA is a lens into the vibrant music and culture of our community.

 

We’ve built a space where both established and emerging artists can share their craft with a global audience. Our mission is to elevate the frequency, inspire thought, and connect our city’s creative community, all while driving change through the universal language of music.

 

Diversity is at the heart of SVARA. Our platform is committed to showcasing music that transcends boundaries, uniting people across cultures and continents. Music knows no borders, divisions, or prejudices, and SVARA exists to take listeners on a journey through the diverse and dynamic sounds of the world, connecting them to an expansive range of rhythms and melodies.
