From Independent Music Station, K-E-X-P, you're listening to In Our Headphones,

a podcast about the songs that we just cannot stop listening to.

This is Evie Stokes, and this week I'm talking with my friend Gioti B. Fly.

Hi, Giotie.

Hi, Evie. So you are one of the co-hosts of a show here on K-E-XP called

WOPP. Do you want to tell us about that show? We play on Wop world music, you know, modern world music.

And even though it has the word pop in it we play everything you know and one of the

things I like to say about the show is that we are one of the most limitless shows on the station

you know we're genreless borderless because so many people are moving throughout the world in ways

they haven't in human history at any other point in human history. And because of that,

like music is so much more complex, multifaceted, and draws inspiration from a bunch of different

places. So that's what kind of makes me tick is, you know, mashing up all different types of

inspirations. And world music is a funny term, right, in 2025, because music, all music is world music, right?

So what you're basically doing is, like you said, no borders to the music that you play from all over the globe.

Yeah, yeah, and it's a charged, it's a charged term world music.

And so because of that, we just want to not create or further advance, like us versus them, dynamic, which, you know, world music historically has created a sense of othering with other cultures.

Yeah, we are all part of the world.

And regardless of what you call it, it's just nice to be able to

feature the music from the whole planet in a way that feels really just open and curious.

And normal.
