A double programme with folk music from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union from the period leading up to the fall of the wall.
Thursday 6 November / Friday 7 November from 01:00 CET: The Night
Programme maker Arthur Olof started a series of programmes in 2011 that looked at the music that was produced during the period of the reconstruction (Perestrojka) and subsequent collapse (‘Destroyka’) of communism in Eastern Europe. This period reached its climax with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. During this night we will broadcast a number of the programmes from this series that present music from the countries that became independent after 1989.
Complied by Arthur Olof (1957-2014).
