TONITE on your RADIO!
It’s the Begilufin PRISON Special!
Incarcerated for one hour in their usual Berlin-basement studio, your hosts Ziv Lode and Daniel Dan Abbott bring you a show themed around the idea of PRISON. After the last two episodes of FREEDOM songs, it’s time to turn the key in the lock, fit bars to the window and listen to PRISON music. We’ll be a rockin’ like a lock-in. We hereby sentence you, The Listener, to 60 minutes of musical JAIL, so wave goodbye to the outside world and do your Begilufin time. By the end of the show you’ll be a reformed character.
Washing up on the shore of our ‘Island’ section tonight, we have a great new archival release of fabled/ forgotten French vocal trio “Les Roche Martin”, top level psychedélicieuse cubist folk-pop and the roots of soon-to-be superstar Véronique Sanson!
As always, this is spontaneous 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.
