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-zone.

TONITE on your RADIO!
Part 2 of the Begilufin INSECTS special!

What’s your favourite INSECT?
The answer to this and other important questions may become clear after tonight’s INSECT-themed show hosted by your favourite Begilufin bugs, Ziv Lode and Dan Abbott. That’s right, for sixty creepy crawly minutes we’ll scuttling through songs about INSECTS again. We don’t claim to cure a listener’s fear of INSECTS or even their phobia of unusual music, and we’re not scientists, but we do have a fine swarm gathering for you. Poised and buzzing!
(And no spiders allowed)

As always, this is spontaneous and occasionally quite silly radio - we often throw in a couple of genuine mistakes for your entertainment.

1. Melanie - Alexander Beetle
2. Mighty Panther - The Bedbug Song
3. Michel Polnareff - Le Roi des Fourmis
4. The Fallouts - De Vlieg
5. Annie Ross - Crickets Sing For Anamaria
6. Thiago França ft. Verônica Ferriani - Charanga dos Insetos
7. Sylvie Vartan - Una Cicala Canta (Per Un'Estate Sola)
8. The Apples - Buzzin' Around
9. War - Beetles In The Bog
10. Baba Zula - Sinek Koca

12. Hazeevot - Schmetterling
13. The Pfeifer Ashman Kickbush - Ant Farm
14. They Shoot Horses Don’t They? - The Bugs

# 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.
