Broadcast on Thursday 8 October 2026 from Madrid to the Adriatic coast via Radio Fragola Trieste (104.5 / 104.8 FM). As Madrid accelerates towards the Hispanidad celebrations and Trieste prepares for the historic sails of the Barcolana regatta, Vincenzo curates a sophisticated thirteen track selection exploring urban survival and timeless songcraft.This episode traverses continents and decades without nostalgia. Highlights include the refined neo soul groove of Jungle, Piero Umiliani’s golden Italian television library music, and the iconic slack rock poetry of Pavement. The narrative reaches an emotional peak with Chico Buarque and Milton Nascimento’s defiant 1976 Brazilian anthem against authoritarian censorship. The journey continues with 1980s Nigerian disco by Oby Onyioha, polyrhythmic bass architecture from Pino Palladino and Blake Mills, Nico’s haunting reflection on Chelsea Girl, and Kendra Morris’s urgent Brooklyn soul finale.Bombolone is an independent music programme broadcast every Thursday at 14:00 CET, hosted by Vincenzo from Spain.Episode tracklist: 01 Jungle, PROBLEMZ02 Piero Umiliani, Discomania03 Pavement, Gold Soundz04 Getdown Services, Dog Dribble05 Chico Buarque, Milton Nascimento, O Que Será (A Flor Da Terra)06 Fred again.., Anderson .Paak, CHIKA, places to be07 Parallel Dance Ensemble, Shopping Cart08 Oby Onyioha, Enjoy Your Life09 Maribou State, Andreya Triana, All I Need10 The Be Good Tanyas, Draft Daughter&#39;s Blues aka Ootischenia11 Pino Palladino, Blake Mills, Ekuté12 Nico, The Fairest Of The Seasons

Overmono&#39;s Good Lies, the partial optimisms you tell yourself because they work. Ebo Taylor, born 1936 in Ghana, played with Fela Kuti, still here, into Pat Thomas, born 1952, same country, same tradition, different branch. Spiller from Verona and Sophie Ellis-Bextor beating Victoria Beckham to number one in the UK in 2000. Mike Dunn from Chicago asking if this is house. It is. Closes with Frank Ocean and André 3000 on Pink Matter, the brain, what it&#39;s made of, what&#39;s worth keeping. André 3000 answers from the other end.

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 on the eve of May 1st, Vincenzo explores the layers of urban memory and the ancient rhythms of the human brain. As Madrid begins its long &#34;Puente de Mayo&#34; weekend and Trieste prepares for its traditional celebrations, we navigate a world of geopolitical tension through a curated sonic diary.Reflecting on five months of clarity, this episode features a special spotlight on Francesco Candura (Stop the wheel). We journey from the French-pop elegance of Grand Eugène and Sébastien Tellier to the poetic weight of Jim Morrison and the raw energy of Fontaines D.C.

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. This week features a special spotlight on Pordenone-based artist Francesco Candura (Stop the wheel), the poetic weight of Jim Morrison, and the raw Irish grit of Fontaines D.C.We close with the hypnotic sounds of Tricky and the timeless exile anthem by Rachid Taha. As Madrid stays awake to read, Bombolone provides a soundtrack for the modern wanderer seeking truth beneath the noise.Tracklist:<ul><li>Grand Eugène, Miel De Montagne - Loin</li><li>Jafunk, Triple H Horns, Stefan Mahendra - Don&#39;t Stop the Music</li><li>Sébastien Tellier - Kilometer (A-Trak Remix)</li><li>Mari Froes - Colombina</li><li>Hayley Williams - Good Ol&#39; Days</li><li>Stop the wheel, La Souterraine - Au pays des merveilles de Juliette</li><li>Zé Roberto - Lotus 72 D</li><li>BIA, Young Miko - BIRTHDAY BEHAVIOR</li><li>DJ Snake, J Balvin - Noventa</li><li>Duan Wasi - DTPA</li><li>Jim Morrison, Music By The Doors - An American Prayer</li><li>TEYMORI - Roy Layers</li><li>Francamente - Zagara</li><li>Fontaines D.C. - It&#39;s Amazing To Be Young</li><li>Rachid Taha - Ya rayah</li><li>Tricky - Overcome</li></ul>

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.

Description: Back in Madrid, Vincenzo navigates the complex emotions of a changing season. As the 45th edition of ARCOmadrid opens with a royal visit, the world feels the weight of the fourth day of conflict in the Middle East. From drone strikes in Riyadh to the maritime deadlock in the Strait of Hormuz, we acknowledge the shadows but seek light through music.This episode is a reflection on heritage.

Recording from a sun-drenched Madrid, Vincenzo returns with a clear head and a heart full of Italian memories. This episode reflects on art and life through the current exhibition at Porcia’s Casello di Guardia, As Madrid anticipates the opening of the ARCO art fair, we navigate the transition from the quiet intimacy of the Friulian countryside to the vibrant urban energy of the Spanish capital. We shake off the post-Olympics fog with a curated selection of &#34;musical endorphins&#34;, from the Italian pop homages of Róisín Murphy to the orchestral grandeur of Andrea Laszlo De Simone.Featuring tracks by Nicolas Jaar, Bonobo, and the dreamy textures of Coca Puma, this is an hour of radio about finding clarity, honoring those who paved the way, and embracing the &#34;new fascination&#34; of the present.Tracklist:<ul><li>Ceri Wax - Passerà</li><li>berlioz, Ted Jasper - nyc in 1940</li><li>Addict Ameba - Caosmosi</li><li>Róisín Murphy, DJ Koze - You Knew</li><li>Bonobo - Rosewood</li><li>Coca Puma - Quasi a casa</li><li>Il Mago Del Gelato - Stracciatella</li><li>Metronomy, Pan Amsterdam - Nice Town</li><li>Friday, Saturday And Sunday - There Must Be a Better Way</li><li>Romare - Je T’aime</li><li>Drugdealer - New Fascination</li><li>Nicolas Jaar - Can&#39;t See What Is Burning There</li><li>Andrea Laszlo De Simone - Immensità</li><li>Róisín Murphy - In Sintesi</li></ul>

Recording from a crisp, sun-drenched Northeast Italy, Vincenzo explores the necessity of stepping back to find clarity.
