Season sixteen. Vincenzo thanks Lucia and gets on with it.The opener is honest: more broken, more enthusiastic, more extreme, further from himself than usual. Which is not a complaint. The edges are where things actually happen. Twelve tracks built around that — from Mexican Institute Of Sound and Colombia&#39;s Meridian Brothers opening with a track about a champion and funeral goods, through AfroCubism (Malian and Cuban musicians rediscovering shared African roots), Vashti Bunyan on a horse in 1970, Teddy Pendergrass at twenty-two with that voice, and Patrick Watson leaving words behind with the episode&#39;s title track. Closes with Mashrou&#39; Leila remixed by Jade, Lebanese diaspora talking to Lebanese diaspora. Both still here.Bombolone airs every Thursday at 14:00 on Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM).Tracklist: Mexican Institute Of Sound &amp; Meridian Brothers · AfroCubism · Alexis Taylor &amp; Mike Simonetti · Jaakko Eino Kalevi · Flavien Berger · Sabine McCalla · The Zen Circus &amp; Brian Ritchie · Harold Melvin &amp; The Blue Notes · We Have Band · Vashti Bunyan · Patrick Watson · Mashrou&#39; Leila &amp; Jade (LB)

The Pope left Monday. The city exhaled. Bad Bunny is still at the Bernabéu. Soundset opens the Conde Duque courtyard for the first time in four seasons this Friday and Saturday. June is properly here.Vincenzo just finished Ian Leslie&#39;s John &amp; Paul: A Love Story in Songs — a book about two people who made something extraordinary by pushing hard against each other — and is still mid-Auster. This episode follows that logic: Bladee (Swedish cloud rap) and Current 93 (David Tibet&#39;s English neofolk, 1982) meet on a track called Fox &amp; Birch and it works precisely because of the distance between them. CCCP say they&#39;re fine, with their usual beautiful ambiguity. Lee Scratch Perry, dead since 2021, on a track called Scratch Is Alive. Phoenix in 2000. LCD Soundsystem not going anywhere. André Toussaint closing with a bolero from 1939 that by now belongs to everyone.Bombolone airs every Thursday at 14:00 on Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM).Tracklist: 01 Make A Dance - No Way Out 02 Tiga, MEDUZA - You Gonna Want Me (I Know) 03 E.VAX, Ratatat - When I&#39;m Gone 04 Phoenix - Too Young 05 Lee &#34;Scratch&#34; Perry, Steve Marshall - Scratch Is Alive 06 CCCP - Fedeli Alla Linea - Io Sto Bene 07 Mac DeMarco - Heart To Heart 08 Fallen Angel - Bittersweet Regret 09 Bladee, Current 93 - Fox &amp; Birch 10 STRFKR - Girls Just Want to Have Fun 11 Romare - All Night 12 Anchorsong - Butterflies 13 LCD Soundsystem - Time to Get Away 14 Andre Toussaint - Perfida

Vincenzo picked up Mr. Vertigo -Paul Auster&#39;s 1994 novel about a street orphan who learns to levitate, just one centimetre off the ground — and realised he hadn&#39;t properly read a book in a long time. Not scrolled. Read. From that, a question: what&#39;s the difference between relaxing (absence) and being chill (presence without pressure)?This episode is the second thing. Siji&#39;s Irinajo — journey in Yoruba, remixed by Osunlade into something slow and horizontal — sits at the centre. Around it: Leyla McCalla with Haitian traditional music on cello and banjo. David Bowie in 1966, nineteen years old, before he became David Bowie. Hot Chip going down. DARKSIDE going deeper. Massive Attack closing with Lately from Protection, 1994 — the same year as the Auster novel. Unplanned. Appropriate.Bombolone airs every Thursday at 14:00 on Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM).Tracklist: Zuffalo · Grace Jones · TV Girl · Rareș · Siji · Bama &amp; The Family · Chicha Libre · Leyla McCalla · David Bowie · Hot Chip · DARKSIDE · Fallen Angel · Massive Attack

Late May in Madrid: San Isidro is over, the Feria del Libro opens tomorrow in the Retiro, and the city is doing that thing it does when it doesn&#39;t quite know whether summer has started yet.From that particular Thursday afternoon, Vincenzo puts together a set that moves from a sixty-year-old Detroit soul record — Darrell Banks&#39; Open the Door to Your Heart, a Northern Soul cornerstone that never stopped working — through Hamburg electro (Digitalism), Belgian institution Soulwax, and SAULT, a British collective who publish and vanish and refuse to have faces.Charlotte Gainsbourg carries the weight of three losses in a single track without making it feel like grief. Joe Goddard makes gospel house sound inevitable.

Recorded in the calm before Madrid’s San Isidro storm, Vincenzo reflects on a life without filters -this episode dives into the sharp details of our daily urban reality through a meticulously curated soundtrack.Recorded the day San Isidro kicks off in Madrid and the day after the 50th anniversary of the 1976 Friuli earthquake, a tremor that left permanent marks on the floors of Vincenzo&#39;s childhood home in Pordenone. This week also brings a personal reckoning with the death of Alex Zanardi, who died on May Day, six days before this episode: Vincenzo first saw him race karts in Pordenone in 1992, at 25 years old, and never stopped watching.Between those moments: Lola Hammond&#39;s unsettling opener, Aldous Harding doing something categorically strange with her voice, Kim Gordon at seventy saying not today with absolute conviction, Gorillaz bridging seven decades of music through Asha Bhosle, and Harry Styles — yes, Harry Styles — making the case for stepping outside the lines. Closes with Gia Margaret, quietly.Closing with the ethereal &#34;Alive Inside&#34; by Gia Margaret, Vincenzo invites you to find your own internal vibration amidst the urban noise.Tracklist:<ul><li>Lola Hammond - Fungal Infection</li><li>L&#39;Impératrice - Voodoo?</li><li>Wax Head - Clatter Coats</li><li>Aldous Harding - One Stop</li><li>Avalon Emerson - Eden</li><li>The Raveonettes - KILLER</li><li>L&#39;Impératrice, Louve - chrysalis</li><li>Kim Gordon - NOT TODAY</li><li>Gorillaz - The Shadowy Light</li><li>Cameron Winter - Nausicaä (Love Will Be Revealed)</li><li>Harry Styles - Paint By Numbers</li><li>Snocaps, Waxahatchee, Allison Crutchfield - Coast</li><li>Paira - Confissão</li><li>Gia Margaret - Alive Inside</li></ul> Bombolone airs every Thursday at 14:00 on Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM).

Description: Broadcast during Madrid’s celebrated Noche de los Libros, Vincenzo explores the intersection of sound, memory, and human nature. In this episode, we reflect on a humbling fact: despite modern technological leaps, our brains remain virtually unchanged from those of our ancestors 100,000 years ago. We still respond to ancestral fears with self-generated stories.Drawing wisdom from Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, we navigate a world of shifting perceptions and Middle Eastern tensions through a curated soundtrack.

Thursday afternoons in Madrid. Vincenzo has been doing this for fifteen seasons — Lisbon first, then Scotland, Amsterdam, London, Dubai, a detour through Venice, another through Beirut, and for the last eight years, here. Every week, an hour of music and the kind of observation you only get from someone who&#39;s been watching a city long enough to stop being impressed by it.This week: Al Green dismantling the Beatles in slow motion. The Specials making a 1950 novelty song feel like a warning. The quiet side of the Stone Roses&#39; debut. Cocteau Twins. Soundgarden. Spiritualized refusing to end. And the story of Linda Lyndell, who recorded What A Man in 1968, watched it disappear, and had to wait for Salt-N-Pepa to remind the world she existed.Madrid dispatches along the way — Rosalía coming home for four nights, almond trees in bloom in a park most people walk past without stopping, Zelensky at the Moncloa. News from Trieste and Pordenone, where spring arrives with documentary films and, apparently, Judas Priest.In Italian. On Radio Fragola Trieste, 104.5/104.8 FM, every Thursday at 14:00.

Recording from a crisp, sun-drenched Northeast Italy, Vincenzo explores the necessity of stepping back to find clarity. We navigate the cultural currents from the massive global impact of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show to the quiet, intentional life of Erlend Øye in Sicily.This week is a deep dive into Italian authenticity. From the raw, Pordenone-bred energy of Sick Tamburo to the sophisticated social irony of Tutti Fenomeni, we examine why modern life needs a &#34;slow courting&#34; rhythm.

On the eve of the Winter Olympics, Vincenzo ignores the snow forecasts and starts with a sun-drenched trip to the French Riviera. But the escapism doesn&#39;t last long. This episode is a sonic rollercoaster reflecting the manic energy of Madrid in February.We move from the vintage cool of Marie Laforêt to the raw, blue-collar rock of Jack White and the infectious Afro-funk of Vaudou Game. Then, things get gritty: brace yourself for a heavy detour into Brazilian Baile Funk and Dominican Dembow—the true sound of the capital&#39;s late-night streets.We decompress with the storytelling of Belle and Sebastian, the psychedelic grooves of Tame Impala, and the sophisticated jazz-fusion of The Blackbyrds.

Escaping the corporate noise of Madrid’s week, Vincenzo delivers a deeply curated hour of music and storytelling. This episode peels back the layers of the playlist, finding the grit behind the glamour.Did you know soul legend Sharon Jones was a corrections officer at Rikers Island before finding fame?

È il 4 dicembre e Madrid è nel pieno della frenesia pre-ponte della Costituzione, con un sacco di valigie sui marciapiedi, traffico impazzito e luci di Natale che si riflettono sull&#39;asfalto. In questo nuovo &#34;Weekly Edit&#34;, Vincenzo propone una via di fuga alternativa: il teletrasporto sonoro.Mentre tutti cercano di partire, noi restiamo e viaggiamo attraverso una selezione che mescola disco, house ed elettronica raffinata. Un percorso che tocca anche gli eventi culturali che accendono la città in questi giorni: dalle visioni psichedeliche del festival ANIMARIO al Matadero, alla nostalgia letteraria per il centenario della Cuesta de Moyano, fino alle atmosfere di casa del Festival del Cinema Italiano.Un&#39;ora di musica per staccare la spina, ballare in salotto e guardare la città con occhi diversi.La colonna sonora della fuga:<ul><li>Midnight Magic - Beam Me Up</li><li>Moodoïd, Melody&#39;s Echo Chamber - Only One Man</li><li>Elia y Elizabeth, Yuksek - Alegría (Yuksek Remix)</li><li>Folamour - These Are Just Places To Me Now</li><li>Purple Disco Machine, Kungs, Julian Perretta - Substitution</li><li>Páula, Povoa, Jerge - Primavera</li><li>ESG - Dance</li><li>Róisín Murphy - Incapable</li><li>DjeuhDjoah, Lieutenant Nicholson - El niño</li><li>DJ Fudge, Hallex M, Omar - Simpatico</li><li>Gilligan Moss - Special Thing</li><li>Phil Kieran, Bush Tetras - Snakes Crawl (East Village Mix)</li></ul> Bombolone va in onda ogni giovedì alle 14:00 su Radio Fragola (Trieste).

<h3>Questo giovedì 13 novembre, da Madrid, Bombolone dichiara apertamente la sua Resistenza. Non solo quella culturale e sociale, ma anche quella sonora: la puntata è un inno a chi non si piega, con un&#39;enfasi speciale su quegli attacchi di batteria potenti e diretti che non chiedono permesso, ma entrano e ti prendono subito.</h3> Un viaggio energico tra funk, post-punk, jazz e ritmi tropicali, che celebra chi ha sempre resistito all&#39;omologazione. Dalla critica sociale degli Stereolab all&#39;ironia punk dei Buzzcocks, dalla forza vocale di Nina Simone al groove inarrestabile degli Ezra Collective. Una colonna sonora per chi vuole far sentire la propria voce, un colpo di batteria alla volta.In questo episodio:<ul><li>Un&#39;esplorazione del concetto di &#34;resistenza&#34; in musica e nella vita.</li><li>Il potere degli attacchi percussivi come elemento stilistico.</li><li>Il Festival de Cine Documental Musical In-Edit di Madrid, celebrazione della controcultura.</li><li>Un mix pazzesco di artisti che vanno da CAN a Tom Zé, da The Slits a Phoenix.</li></ul> Tracklist di questa puntata:<ul><li>Ezra Collective, Kojey Radical - No Confusion</li><li>Amp Fiddler, Dames Brown - Soul Fly, Pt. 1</li><li>REYSHA RAMI - black0ut</li><li>Stereolab - French Disko</li><li>Buzzcocks - Everybody&#39;s Happy Nowadays (2001 Remastered Version)</li><li>CAN - Moonshake</li><li>The Slits - I Heard It Through The Grapevine</li><li>Nina Simone - Funkier Than a Mosquito&#39;s Tweeter</li><li>Tom Zé - Tô</li><li>Supergrass - Caught by the Fuzz</li><li>Guts, Pat Kalla - Daddy Sweet</li><li>Yin Yin - One Inch Punch</li><li>Phoenix - Summer Days</li><li>Menahan Street Band - Make the Road By Walking</li></ul> Bombolone va in onda ogni giovedì alle 14:00 su Radio Fragola (Trieste).

È il 6 novembre. Finite le feste, l&#39;autunno a Madrid ora fa sul serio. In questa puntata, Vincenzo fa il punto sullo &#34;Stato delle Cose&#34; con un viaggio musicale che lascia il segno.Si parte con l&#39;energia calda del soul e del funk, ma ci si sposta presto verso lidi più profondi. Con la scusa del festival JAZZMADRID, riscopriamo la potenza politica del jazz con un capolavoro di Roberta Flack e la poesia tagliente del padrino del rap, Gil Scott-Heron.È un&#39;ora densa, che si muove tra la voglia di ballare (Róisín Murphy che canta Battisti) e il bisogno di pensare, fino alla nostalgia epica dei Pulp e a un requiem cantato dalla voce indimenticabile di Mark Lanegan. Questa non è una puntata come le altre.La colonna sonora di questo viaggio:<ul><li>Durand Jones &amp; The Indications - Witchoo</li><li>Ignace de Souza &amp; The Melody Aces - Asaw Fofor</li><li>Sampha - Cumulus / Memory</li><li>Roberta Flack - Compared to What</li><li>Róisín Murphy - Ancora Tu</li><li>Thievery Corporation - Liberation Front</li><li>David Walters &amp; others - Bwè Dlo (Remix)</li><li>João Selva - Navegar</li><li>Antonin, Voilaaa - Ça fait du bien (Voilaaa Remix)</li><li>Paul McCartney, Khruangbin - Pretty Boys</li><li>Pulp - Spike Island</li><li>Chrissie Hynde, Mark Lanegan - Can’t Help Falling In Love</li><li>Gil Scott-Heron - Gun</li></ul> Bombolone va in onda ogni giovedì alle 14:00 su Radio Fragola (Trieste).
