Imago Radio: live radio uit Chisinau

Eeeven...

De naald wordt afgestoft…

Imago Radio

A design studio with a transmitter.

Indie guitars, old soul, and Moldovan estrada.

Imago has been on air out of Chișinău since at least 2016, the cultural arm of Casa Imago and run on listener support rather than a broadcast budget. Its most useful invention is Etaj'Live, monthly sessions staged in the office and filmed: thirty-odd concerts, from Subcarpați and Cuibul to Red IceCream, Harmasar and Jurjak, which for a lot of Moldovan alternative bands is the only proper recording of them that exists. The station calls it the country's first online platform for live concerts.

For years the rest was presenters with long-running series. Vadim Maslennikov cycled Negru pe Alb through jazz, soul and hip-hop, Marcel Lazăr taught classical music in short editions, Bach to Enescu, and Veronica Ștefăneț ran Unda Lungă and a poetcast. That archive stops in 2021, and the stream runs a rotation of indie rock, soul, jazz and Moldovan estrada.
