Begilufin - Berlin Live #237

We play a wild, confusing mess of international sounds, stretching from the birth of recorded music to something we heard two days ago. We do our best to ignore the normal, accentuate the weird, and ignore borders, boundaries and time-zone. TONITE on your RADIO! Begilufin goes UNDERGROUND! From deep in PiRadio’s basement studio, tonight your hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott dredge up 60 rapidly decomposing minutes of music themed around UNDERGROUND. Tune in tonight and ride our subterranean radio rollercoaster through troglodytic tunnels of transglobal tunes. With our sonic shovels, we dig up an archaeological array of UNDERGROUND specimens from Italy, France, Trinidad, Mexico and who knows where else. Switch on your radio and groove with the moles! On tonight’s “Island” section, we enjoy a new archival release of UNDERWATER music from Brazil’s wild-haired musical merlin, Hermeto Pascoal! As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of genuine mistakes for your entertainment. # Begilufin Begilufin is an hour long radio show broadcast live twice a month from the heart Berlin on the station Pi Radio. On Begilufin we play a wild, confusing mess of international sounds, stretching from the birth of recorded music to something we heard two days ago. We do our best to ignore the normal, accentuate the weird, and ignore borders, boundaries and time-zones. Each show revolves around a central theme and then we surprise each other (and you, dear listener) with our selections live on air. Since you ask, ‘Begilufin’ is a Hebrew word meaning intoxicated, inebriated, drunk, sozzled or smashed - a perfect description of the delirious off-centre mix of crazed music we like to spin on the show or indeed the effect it might have on your ears. Begilufin was created by Ziv Lode in 2010. Ziv was joined by Dan Abbott a couples of years later after a chance meeting in a kindergarten playground revealed a mutual love of the music of Erkin ‘The Turkish Hendrix’ Koray. * *
