    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. From the end-of-Olympics serotonin to the jazz-inflected tribute to the ancient city of Isfahan, this is an hour of radio that bridges the gap between the local and the global.

    s15e17 | Bombolone - Solar Returns & Artistic Legacies

    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 "musical endorphins", 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 "new fascination" of the present.

    s15e16 | Bombolone - Sharp Sunsets & Strategic Solitude

    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 "slow courting" rhythm. We also celebrate the Lunar New Year through the lens of Madrid’s vibrant Usera district, finding beauty in the contrast between traditional dragons and contemporary beats. Featuring the cinematic vastness of Pink Floyd, the garage-psych of Habibi, and a triple spotlight on the ethereal talent of Coca Puma, this episode is a guide for those seeking a sense of "home" in the music. Tracklist: C+C=Maxigross - Ferroviere solitarioThe Whitest Boy Alive - FireworksHabibi - Somewhere They Cant Find UsBaustelle - GommaBeaks - I dropped the bottleTutti Fenomeni - La felicità del caneSick Tamburo - FuoriGIIN - Come ti voglioPink Floyd - On the Highway (Zabriskie Point Remix)Lumiero - Corteggiamento LentoGaia Banfi - Piazza CentraleBASTA SESSION N°4 - BASTA, Goedi, Coca Puma...Marianne Mirage - Il CampoCoca Puma - NotteNo Vacation - Yam YamCoca Puma - Quasi a casa

    s15e15 | Bombolone: Saint-Tropez Dreams & The Madrid Hustle

    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'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'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. Finally, Bonnie Prince Billy closes the hour with an existential question that lingers long after the music stops. Featured Tracks: Marie Laforêt - Saint-tropez blues The Teskey Brothers - So Caught Up Jack White - That's How I'm Feeling Vaudou Game - Chérie Nye MC Teuzin PV, MC Skcot, DJ GH Sheik - Joga Essa Rabeta Lomiiel - PA QUE LO BAILES (BAILALO ROCKY) Khalil Chahine - El Melopongo Belle and Sebastian - The Boy With the Arab Strap Tame Impala - Is It TrueDjo - Back On You The Blackbyrds - Mysterious Vibes IDLES - Grace Emanuele Triglia (feat.

    s15e14 Bombolone: Insane Times and Madrid Vibes

    Description: Vincenzo returns for another eclectic hour from the Spanish capital. In this episode, we navigate the deceptive winter sun of Madrid, discussing the city's obsession with the ongoing Padel Hexagon Cup and the looming tension of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. Musically, the journey moves from the acoustic calm of the Kings of Convenience to the urban jazz strut of Roy Hargrove, touching on Lebanese cinema nostalgia, classic ska, and lo-fi hip hop beats along the way. It is a soundtrack for walking through changing cities and "insane times".

    s15e13 Bombolone: Prison Guards, Ugly Feet & The Art of Dumb Love

    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? Or that HNNY wrote a house anthem about the imperfections of beautiful people? We dive into these stories, explore the "sad disco" of Rhye, and discuss why Neil Frances champions "dumb love" over overthinking. From the chaotic tunnels of the M-30 to a surprising detour into the world of Bluey (yes, really), and finally landing on the biting social satire of Italy’s Rino Gaetano, this is radio for those who listen closely. Featured Tracks: Marlon Williams - My BoyAmo Amo - CantaRhye - Black RainSharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - How Long Do I Have to Wait for You?Polo & Pan, Channel Tres - TunnelCrazy P - Like A FoolHNNY - Most Really Pretty Girls Have Pretty Ugly FeetNEIL FRANCES - Dumb LoveJungle - CasioArlo Parks - SoftlyFlight Facilities, Jess - Foreign LanguageBluey, Joff Bush - Bluey Theme Tune (Instrument Parade)Rino Gaetano - Al compleanno della zia RosinaJulien Gasc, Forever Pavot, Chassol - Léger léger

    s15e12 Bombolone | Velázquez Skies, Surrealism and the Logic of Pollock

    Velázquez skies, the drip of Pollock and the silence of Matisse | Bombolone 15.01.2026 Under the sharp, unyielding light of a Madrid winter, Vincenzo navigates the intersection of creative systems and urban rhythm. This episode reflects on the dialogue between Jackson Pollock’s kinetic action and Andy Warhol’s serial icons at the Thyssen-Bornemisza, contrasted with Matisse’s pursuit of essential colour at CaixaForum. As the city vibrates with the arrival of Inverfest — featuring James Blake and Rufus T. Firefly — we also look towards the horizon as the countdown to the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics begins. From the surrealist roots of the Pixies to the "strange overtones" of David Byrne, this is an hour of curated sound for the curious mind, broadcast from the heart of Spain to the world. Tracklist: Baxter Dury, JGrrey – AllbaroneSonya Spence – Let love flow onThe Whitest Boy Alive – Golden cageThee Sacred Souls – Running awaySleaford Mods, Aldous Harding – Elitest g.o.a.t.Darondo – Didn't iTom Misch, De La Soul – It runs through meMetronomy, Biig Piig – 405Peven Everett – Heat upPixies – DebaserDavid Byrne – Strange overtonesScott Walker – The amorous humphrey pluggBaby Rose, BADBADNOTGOOD – Caroline Bombolone: Season 15.
