   Bombolone s16e08 | Light as a bird, not as a feather

   Bombolone: Light as a bird, not as a feather Description: Broadcast on Thursday 12 November 2026 from Madrid to the Adriatic coast via Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM). Season 16, episode 8. Vincenzo builds a fourteen-track hour around the idea of lightness as Italo Calvino described it: not vagueness, but precision, being light like a bird and not like a feather. The hour opens with a question, Timmy Thomas's "Why Can't We Live Together" in a 2009 cover by Nickodemus, the day after the 11.11 armistice anniversary. It moves through Joy Crookes turning a destructive relationship into a good song, MC Solaar changing one word of a proverb so that a storm becomes a tempo, Tank and The Bangas asking for nice things, and Pional's "Invisible". It answers the opening question with Moses Boyd's "Say Yeah": right now, come together. It closes with another question, Kid Francescoli's "Does She?". Bombolone is an independent music programme broadcast every Thursday at 14:00 CET, hosted by Vincenzo from Spain. Episode tracklist: 01 Waldeck, la Heidi - Shala-Lala-La 02 Nickodemus, Osiris, Petra Jean Phillipson, Chris Annibell - Why Can't We Live Together 03 Ocote Soul Sounds - Contigo Jamás 04 DJ Vadim, Kathrin deBoer, Belleruche - Black Is The Night 05 Joy Crookes, Denzel Curry - Painkiller 06 MC Solaar - Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo 07 Isaac Delusion - L'amour illogique 08 Tank and The Bangas - Nice Things 09 Clairo - Glory of the Snow 10 Hope Tala - Magic or Medicine 11 Sola Rosa - Del Ray 12 Moses Boyd - Say Yeah 13 Pional - Invisible / Amenaza 14 Kid Francescoli, Julia Minkin - Does She?

   s16e07 Bombolone | Creatori non consumatori

   Broadcast on Thursday 5 November 2026 from Madrid to the Adriatic coast via Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM). Season 16, episode 7. Vincenzo builds an eleven-track hour around people who invented something instead of simply consuming: a genre, an instrument, a sound, a season. The selection moves from Hypnolove's imagined holiday to Yuksek and Bertrand Burgalat's Icarus. It passes through Patrick Cowley, who built hi-NRG with synthesizers, and Soulwax's remix of Charlotte Gainsbourg, which turns grief into dance. It continues with Vaudou Game's Togolese vodun rhythms plugged into Afro-funk, Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek's reinvented Anatolian folk and Francis Bebey, a Cameroonian broadcaster who put effects pedals on the sanza. It closes with Joe Hisaishi's "One Summer's Day". Along the way, a short comment on the eviction of the housing camp at Puerta del Sol. Bombolone is an independent music programme broadcast every Thursday at 14:00 CET, hosted by Vincenzo from Spain. Episode tracklist: Hypnolove, Holiday Reverie Bertrand Burgalat, Yuksek, Icare Emi Ömar, C'est La Vibe Patrick Cowley, Surfside Sex Charlotte Gainsbourg, Soulwax, Deadly Valentine (Soulwax Remix) Anchorsong, Butterflies Vaudou Game, Roberto Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek, Kar Yağar Francis Bebey, Sanza Tristesse Prince Fatty, Mutant Hi-Fi, Black Powder Joe Hisaishi, One Summer Day

Vincenzo builds a twelve-track hour of upbeat, danceable music where nearly every song hides something darker in the lyrics.
