« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Chicken (#2) #239
TONITE on your RADIO! It’s the Begilufin CHICKEN Special Part 2!
Question: Which came first, the CHICKEN or the EGG? Answer: BEGILUFIN!
That’s right, the previous episode of Begilufin was a global first in CHICKEN.themed music radio. At least until some tells us different anyway. Tonight, your hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott lay another 60 minutes of CHICKEN-themed tunes on your ears in celebration of THE YEAR OF THE COSMIC CHICKEN.
On tonight’s island section, we investigate the foot-stompingly delirious vibrations emanating from the new single by hot Dutch-Indonesian combo Nusantara Beat.
Tune in to Begilufin tonight! It’s cock-a-doodle-groovy, baby! As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of authentic 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.
