Begilufin celebrates WOMEN!
Your oh-so-very-masculine hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott decided it was high time to dedicate a show to songs written by women, songs sung by women and songs about women. Tonight you'll experience screaming women, whispering women, harmonising women, discordant women, rhythmic and arrhythmic women, sad women, happy women and angry women, from the eighteen points of the international musical compass. Playing womenmusic is nothing new for us but this is just our way of saying THANK YOU WOMEN.
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.
