« Begilufin » Berlin Live: Greece (#1) #270
TONITE on your RADIO!
It’s the Begilufin goes to GREECE special!
Your olive-oil guzzling hosts Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott are back from the long hot super summer, partially melted, with the first BEGILUFIN episode the new season! Tonight you will be experiencing precisely one hour of tunes from GREECE!
Is it all GREEK to you? If not, then it soon will be, because tonight GREECE is the word. Strap on your dancing socks because we’ve got an odyssey of Hellenic (non)hits and ample action audio from (probably)Athens. Greek-out & Freak-out!
As always, this is live and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of genuine 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.
