Home of many important reissues and new artists such as Altin Gün, Mauskovic Dance Band, YĪN YĪN, Coco Maria and more - #bongojoe cannot be left unnoticed. On this Label Hour, Dimitra Zina is joined by label founder Cyril Yeterian, for a short discussion on the label and store history as well as for an 1h dive into their exceptional catalogue.
