Arne Berg is a passionate advocate for global music and has been a prominent figure at NRK, Norway's national broadcaster, since 1996. He is best known for his work on the radio programme Jungeltelegrafen, which has been a staple of NRK's P2 channel for over two decades. The show explores "the other music"—genres and sounds that often fall outside mainstream radio playlists, such as African rap, Portuguese fado, and desert blues1.
Arne Berg's approach to music is deeply rooted in his belief that "world music" is not a genre but a rich tapestry of diverse sounds and stories. Jungeltelegrafen also features exclusive interviews and live performances, making it a unique platform for global music enthusiasts.
