« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Freedom (#2) #253
TONITE on your RADIO!
It’s the Begilufin FREE Special Pt.2!
One! Two! FREE!
You’d be wise to free up an hour of your life this evening, because your hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott and here with another instalment of your favourite freeform radio show themed around the concept of FREE. Unchained, untied and usually out of control, Begilufin has always been a show grounded in musical FREEDOM, a transglobal FREEFALL through the cracks between genres and years, languages and trends.
We’ve always been FREE to play what we want and we don’t take this FREEDOM for granted! You too, dear listeners, are FREE to walk away if you can’t stand the noise… but why not tune in, sit with us for a while and open up your ears? After all, it’s ABSOLUTELY FREE of charge!
Tonight on our ‘Island’ section, floating serenely in the middle of the show, we’re honoured to present a couple of tunes from ‘L’immensité et l'immédiat’, the freshly baked new LP from KCIDY, France’s best-kept technicolor-baroque-mind-pop secret!
As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of genuine mistakes for your entertainment.
- The Staple Singers - Freedom Highway
- Bernard Lubat - En Roue Libre

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.
