« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Law & Order (#1) #207
It's the Begilufin LAW & ORDER show!
This evening your honest hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott lay down the law with 60 minutes of ditties themed around LAW & ORDER and of course an (un)equal measure of CRIME & DISORDER - what sude are your ears on? Tune in tonight to see if we successfully evade arrest as we skip around the globe with an international selection of tunes about cops and robbers, murder and justice.
[Insert weak joke about "criminal records" here]
Begilufin - there should be a law against it!
On tonight’s “Island” section we bathe in the glow of a truly remarkable new album from Brazil. Marcelo Callado's "Haito" is an electrifying but organic set of haunting fuzz-laden songs, that continually defy expectations but remain in the ears long after their final notes. Echoing Brazil's golden era of experimental songcraft and the poetic dadaism of early Fanco Battiato, this is top level musical mutation!
As always, this is spontaneous and rather silly radio - we always throw in a couple of 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.
