Rádio Valerfm

Radio Valerfm is a gospel web radio from Luanda, a city with one of Africa's busiest gospel scenes, part of Angola's lively online faith-radio world. The project runs alongside a video arm - the Facebook presence calls itself Radio e TV online, and the station's home page carries the Valer TV name.

The format is gospel: worship music and Christian programming in Portuguese, aimed at Angola's huge churchgoing audience. Between songs the tone stays devotional, with prayer and encouragement rather than headlines. Like most of the country's web radios, it is small, personal and built more on devotion than on budget.

The stream runs via Zeno.FM and appears in the gospel sections of the directories, one of several small Angolan gospel streams listed for Luanda. For listeners of the diaspora it offers a familiar sound - gospel in Portuguese, straight from Luanda.
