  • The Journey, The Pause, The Trust
    Dec 26 2025
    This episode was written somewhere between cobblestone streets and quiet realizations. Between missed turns, long walks, train windows, and moments where time slowed down just enough to let the truth catch up. Italy didn’t ask me to change. It asked me to pay attention. Episode 100 lives in that awareness. --------------------- This is Episode 100. No flex. No fireworks. Just heart, breath, and truth. This one isn’t about talking over tracks.

To anyone learning how to stay standing when life tries to fold them. ------------------------------- Music Artists & Tracks Featured in Episode 100 (Alphabetical Order): 14KT – The Power of Same Alfa Mist – Run Outs Aman-D & Lost Desert – Open Form Axel Boman – Hello Christian Rich – Real Love (feat.

  • Fusion at the Edge: Turkey’s Sonic Mosaic
    Oct 1 2025
    🎶 Episode 97: “Fusion at the Edge: Turkey’s Sonic Mosaic” Where continents hum, and music is the bridge. 🌀 Ride the Bosphorus with me. I’m Kenny Chiba — your cosmic bus driver and sonic guide — and in this episode we plunge deep into Turkey’s soundscape. Here, East and West don’t just touch — they collide, converse, shake hands, and remix. The Bosphorus isn’t just geography — it’s pulse, it’s groove, it’s the tubular vein where melodies flow between worlds. On this journey, tradition coexists with jazz fusion, rock chops echo in ancient alleys, and rap/hip-hop voices carry modern rebellion on old winds. ✨ In Episode 97 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast We let Anatolian psych, jazz fusion, and boundary-breaking hybrids rise — from Anatolian soil, through crowded bazaars, out into the cinematic sky. 🎤 Featured Artists & Their Online Footprints Kapiko — Website: https://www.kapikoband.com/ KAPIKO • Instagram: @kapikoband Instagram • SoundCloud: kapiko SoundCloud Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek — Artist Page Info / Profile: https://www.europavox.com/bands/derya-yildirim-grup-simsek/ Europavox or https://deryayildirimgrupsimsek.com/ Gaye Su Akyol — https://www.gayesuakyol.com/ Lalalar — https://lalalar.net/ Hey!

  • Midnight Ride to Lagos: A City That Sings in Its Sleep
    Aug 30 2025
    What’s good, fam? You’re now tuned in to Episode 96 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast. And guess what? We're still riding aboard the Magical Music Bus — your one-way ticket to the most vibrant, vital, and overlooked sounds from around the globe. Last stop? We were deep in Chile, where protest anthems and Andean soul lit the sky with revolution and rhythm. But this time? We’ve crossed oceans and landed in the bold, beating heart of West Africa — Nigeria. This ain’t just another pit stop — it’s a cultural collision, a sonic uprising, and a global vibe transmission from Lagos to the world. I’m your host Kenny Chiba — your music selector, narrator, and guide through the grooves less traveled. And this time around, we’re tuning into a musical landscape that refuses to be defined. This is more than Afrobeats. It’s alté, afro-fusion, spiritual jazz, rebel soul, and DIY cool. Buckle up. The Magical Music Bus has no brakes. Let’s go!!
