The Neven 78 Radio Archive

Ethnic strings, cowboy swing, and forgotten pop on shellac.


Welcome to the 78 radio archive broadcast dedicated to the music that is very, very old. It's on the original shellac, 78RPM records that I've collected over a 30 year period and we 're gonna start and be listening or I'm gonna be playing, so I don't know if anybody's gonna be listening really, is some old ethnic music. Balkan tambaritza.
