HOTEL BALKAN could be a comfortable place anywhere at the
globe - created for strangers who pass by and stay for a while.
This is also the intention of the Hotel Balkan radio show:
running a cosy place for to host you ... to comfort you
as long as you like and as often as you come by.
- josef gaffl | hotel balkan night clerk -

The HOTEL BALKAN radio show started 2004 in the framework
of the intercultural art project KINGDOM OF ILLUSIONS.
Due to it's popularity it is still on air ... puuhh ...
every Friday from 9 - 10 p.m. CET (Central Europe Time)
at Radio FRO 105,0 MHz and Radio FRF 107,0 MHz.

HOTEL BALKAN is based in Linz | Austria
connected with CROSS RADIO in SouthEast Europe
and also broadcasted in Bohemia | Czech Republic
at the frequence 107,0 Mhz | RADIO FRF

In 2005 HOTEL BALKAN was voted by the audience
of Radio FRO as the most popular show of the station. Thanks!
To tell you the whole truth ... in the beginning there was nothing
than the idea of playing balkan beats, gipsy vibes and eastern europe grooves. In the meantime Hotel Balkan became
a multi-lingual link between Eastern and Central Europe
and an intercultural platform for Sinti, Roma
and Gadji like me.

Hvala! Dzjakuj! Spaciba! Daven bahtlale! Thanks!

... and now let's continue to jump on the sofa !!

BELARUS NARODNY ALBOM 2009 | by BEL_air

20 years after the fall of the Berlin wall, Belarus remains the last European country, that is ruled in a pure soviet style by long term leader Aleksandr Lukashenko. Under the current regime, Belarus is far away from any democratic standards.

One significant sector is is FREEDOM OF THE PRESS. According to the Freedom House Index 2008, Belarus is ranked at position 188 ... and only seven countries are ranked worse: Uzbekistan, Cuba, Eritrea, Lybia, Turkmenistan, Burma and North Korea. Even in year 2009, journalists reporting about Belarus have to hide their real names for to protect themselves from persecution by KGB and special forces.

BEL_air is a team of independent journalists, that counters such repression against Freedom of the Press with detailed researches on the ground - and by the international distribution of reports by international radio networks and web-based technologies. Additionally the links to the reports are forwarded to international decision makers.

Narodny Albom 2009 is embedding the statements of persecuted Belarusian citizens into music and sounds of the 21st century. The title Narodny Albom is a reference to the famous original, which was released in 1997. | 60:00 min. | mp3 | 320 kb | 140 MB | free download mp3
