For this exclusive mix for (EE) Radio, Cyril Yeterian of the Swiss Label and Record Store Bongo Joe dives into a selection of their releases from the last eight years. Bongo Joes has been at the forefront of releasing gems from the past and present, revealing hidden musical worlds: from high-tempo tsapiky music from Madagascar, synth wave and post-punk in post-Francoist dictatorship Spain, and traditional Turkish tunes revisited and reimagined by new generations, to the finest Colombian avant-garde, Algerian raï, and some of Switzerland’s greatest experimental and electronic pioneers.
This mix features excerpts from the label’s diverse catalog, from reissued and contemporary classics to Bongo Joe’s most recent releases.
