« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Death! (#1) #156
Dan & Ziv, Sidney Poitier, Yehu Yaron, Tim Maia, C.W. Stoneking and more.
It’s the Begilufin DEATH special!
Your hollow-cheeked hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott use up 60 irretrievable minutes of your life playing a selection of gravely groovy tunes that deal with you-know-what.
Is this the end, my beautiful friends? Why no, it’s just the beginning! Tune in and hitch a ride on our musical subway car all the way to the last station... where the music never stops.
This episode's twisted selection comes from Holland, Israel, Spain, Australia, Brazil, Great Britain and the United States of Insania.
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.
