Monocle Radio’s Fernando Augusto Pacheco looks at the top songs in Uzbekistan. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hello, this is the Global Countdown, first broadcast on the briefing on the 18th of July.
And that music can only mean one thing, which is, of course, that you should by now have thrown your radio into a pond and taken shelter in the basement.
It is time for our weekly Global Countdown with Monaco's senior correspondent, Fernando Augusta.
So, Pacheco, Fernando, and God help us all.
Where are you taking us this week?
I'm very excited, as usual.
You're always very excited, Fernando.
It's like on air, off air.
Global Countdown, not Global Countdown.
It doesn't get tiring.
But listen, we're going to Uzbekistan and what a fantastic music scene they have.
I mean, I would recommend people to go to Tashkent and go to a discotheque.
I mean, it's incredible.
A discotheque in Tashkent?
Yeah, that could be the name of my favorite album or something.
Have you ever been to a discotheque in Tashkent?
Unfortunately not, but I'm planning to after listening.
You are literally planning to listen.
You will understand what I'm saying here because number five.
I mean, it's funny because I describe this song as a story about broken love with a lovely disco beat in the background.
