While humanity watched Putin's videotaped eyes declaring the opening of military operations on Ukrainian territory, and the whole world returned to the fears of thirty years ago, we were dedicated, as always, to searching for new music, this time around the entire planet. We discovered, it must be admitted, through Damn luck, the good afternoon magazine program that the Argentine radio station has The Unveiling, that there was a wonderful website called Radio.Garden, It's a kind of Google Maps for radio stations around the world. With a fun interface that simulates a globe, it displays all the locations and areas where radio companies have registered to broadcast to anyone on Earth. It's just a matter of playing around with the mouse and finding cities with all their broadcast offerings, from the most conventional to the most unexpected. When we say there's everything, believe us, there's everything, even things you can't imagine. We found, for example, Kyak Radio, A wonderful reggae station broadcasting from Hillsborough, Granada. Going a little further south, we arrive at Bblack Radio 89.4, Located in Cayenne, French Guiana, this station is dedicated to the rich variety of Caribbean music. We ventured into and out of the Amazon rainforest and arrived in Belém to listen to the brilliant repertoire of neo-African music on a left-leaning radio station (it can't be Bolsonaro's favorite station). We went to the ends of the earth, and we found Yo Argentino Radio, in the southern town of Ushuaia, a broadcast that combines good rock, football, and moments of history.

Upon crossing the pond, in search of the new African sound, we can hear Zi FM Stereo 106.4, From Harare, Zimbabwe. If you're interested in discovering the latest in Israeli Mediterranean music, 99.5fm That's their station. If you want a good contrast, we recommend visiting the signal of Middle East Radio International, Located in Beirut, Lebanon. Flirting with irony, we find an exquisite sign of good Anglo-Saxon pop in Radio Chocolate 98 FM, located in Moscow. Heading towards the Baltic Sea, we find one of the best jazz, techno and punk radio stations of the moment, Radio Vilnius, In Lithuania (unmissable). In Chennai, India, Madras Radio It offers 24 hours of exquisite sound mixes from East and West. In the Thai district of Ko Samui, a paradise for tourists, residents lost in the beauty of the beaches, and illicit substances, it is Samui Island Radio, With a program worth listening to, day and night, accompanied by refreshing drinks and little moral drama. Almost reaching the depths of the Australian desert, in the tireless search for a good string of rock songs, we arrived at 4RR, in Charleville. And to finish, wanting to end our tour of radio around the world, we stayed in Hamilton, New Zealand, to listen Radio Robotic, a space filled with alternative music from the last three decades.

There are many, many, too many radio offers, and luckily we have Radio Garden to discover them. Fortunately, the world, even in times of blood and fury, has music to fight against human misery.
