« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Accordion (#1) #227
TONITE on your RADIO!
It’s the Begilufin ACCORDION* Special!
This evening your squeezable hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott perforate your eardrums with an attack of ACCORDIONS! Yes you read that correctly, ACCORDIONS. We were warned in no uncertain terms that this might be crossing a red line, but we couldn’t resist the challenge. Poor old ACCORDIONS, abandoned by rock’n’roll, cast aside by the guardians of popular music, and ridiculed by “experts”. THE ACCORDION RENAISSANCE STARTS NOW!

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.
