Begilufin - Berlin Live: Islands (#1) #242

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 ISLANDS Special! For 60 noisy minutes tonight, your landlocked hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott surround themselves with imaginary water and play songs about ISLANDS and songs from ISLANDS. A wise idiot once said “No man is an ISLAND”. Here on Begilifin we say everyone one is an ISLAND, drifting through the endless sea of music, with ears as sails catching the wind on an aimless journey without a beginning and without an… Tune in tonight for an hour of INTERNATIONAL ISLAND INSANITY! And for tonight’s island section (an island in a sea of islands) we celebrate the life and music of the sadly departed Amadou Bagayoko, one half of the legendary husband-wife duo Amadou & Mariam, who brought Malian music to the ears of the world. As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of authentic mistakes for your entertainment. 1. Jacques Brel - Une Ile 2. Spike Jones & His City Slickers - Hawaiian War Chant 3. Howard Nishioka - Carnivourous Dogaramus 4. Boo & The Tru-tones - Let Me Get Stoned 5. Panbers - Haai 6. Curumin- Japan Pop Show 7. Amadou & Mariam - Chantez Chantez 8. Amadou & Mariam - La Realité 9. The Bees - No Trophy 10. Mighty Panther - Barbados Carnival 11. Gogol Bordello - Madagascar-Roumania (Tu Jésty Fáta) # 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/
