« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Foreign musicians in Britain! #85b

Dan & Ziv, Gilberto Gil, Jimi Hendrix, Funkees, Spiteri and more.

The Begilufin almost-BRITISH SPECIAL!

Ladies and gentlemen, we politely suggest that it may possibly be well worth your while to relax and enjoy our radio broadcast this evening. In the light of the recent event known internationally as 'Brexit', we shall be supplying as entertaining hour of carefully selected musical sounds, each every tune recorded by FOREIGNERS in the charming and friendly land of Great Britain.

A rather jolly time is guaranteed for all!

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.
