Begilufin - Berlin Live: Compass (#1) #258

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! It’s the Begilufin COMPASS special! Where are you? Where are we? What is where and where is what? Tonight your disoriented hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott will unsuccessfully attempt to answer the above questions with a show dedicated to musical POINTS OF THE COMPASS! But what’s the POINT? North, East, South and West, those are the points. PiRadio’s subterranean Berlin studio is armed with powerful loudspeaker magnets, sending our pocket COMPASS spinning like a propellor as we ourselves spin music from all four directions and (more). Tonight’s show will be OFF THE MAP. As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of genuine mistakes for your entertainment. 1. Okko - East Indian Traffic 2. Moğollar - Eastern Love (Kara Dut Parmak Gibi) 3. Duke Ellington - Blue Pepper (Far East Of The Blues) 4. Poets Of Rhythm - North Carolina 5. Francois Rabbath - Western A La Breughel 6. Messer Chups - Ghost Rides To West 7. Albert Batiste - La Noia del País del Nord 8. Antonio Carlos & Jocafi - Nord West 9. The Beatles - Only A Northern Song 10. Tom Lehrer - The Wild West is Where I Want to Be 11. Headless Heroes - The North Wind Blew South 12. Ouzo Bazooka - Southern Winds 13. William Sheller - Living East Dreaming West # 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. * https://www.mixcloud.com/begilufin/ * https://www.instagram.com/begilufinradio/
