« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Horns (#2) #109
Dan & Ziv, Mandingo, Claudia, Noto Sato, The Apples and more.
It's the Begilufin HORNS Special Paaaart 2!
HONK! Your brassy hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott present Phase 2 of an experiment in musical shock therapy wherein the world of HORNS will be fully and lovingly embraced. Scared of saxophones? Terrified of trumpets? Tormented by trombones?
Lose your Horn-o-phobia as we hold your hand through part two of a honking odyssey where your fears will be literally blasted away by a menagerie of gleaming horns from around the globe. Psychedelic horns, funky horns, horns that rock, horns from Brazil, Polish horns, Horn of Japan and good old American horns. A veritable HORNOCOPIA.
As usual, we tread the tightrope of live radio, buzzing with of-the-moment spontaneity and 'creativity' (that's how we see it).
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.
