Listen to the traveling voices of the world

Listen to the traveling voices of the world

Piercing, assured, warm, fluid, soft, dazzling, scratchy, cheeky, street voices fill the cities. From the cries of the sellers in Cairo, passing through the exclamations of the carriers of fresh produce in Naples, to the song of the child who plays at repeating the words of the muezzin in Brussels, a small polyphony of the voices of the world.

Listen to the world is a radio program replaying in podcast here, but also a participatory platform dedicated to listening. It archives and provides free access to more than 200 sound recordings sent from all over the world, to be found on The sound map.

Listen to the traveling voices of the world was recorded by Vincent Battesti in Cairo, Olivier Féraud in Naples and the BNA-BBOT collective in Brussels.
