Diran Mardirian who runs the legendary Chico Records in Beirut, Lebanon, digs into his record collection to serve up a treat of Beirut Bangs and B-sides. His all-vinyl mix covers everything from 1950s and 1960s twist, cha cha and latin-tarab from Lebanon and Egypt to psychedelic pop, Arabic jazz instrumentals and obscure and raw beat/rock and rollers from Beirut.
