Special Olympics World Games 2023: A Celebratory Musical World Map

With Richard Akingbehin

As Music Directors of the Special Olympics World Games 2023, which takes place in Berlin this June, Refuge Worldwide curated a music database to be used by 10 Refuge resident DJs playing in the Games' various venues.

This radio show - created exclusively for Refuge Worldwide's sweater and T-shirt collaboration with NIKE - contains a selection of celebratory favourites chosen by the individual country delegations - their musical responses to the question: What song would you want to hear when one of your athletes succeeds?

Tune in for joyous music from Malaysia, Ecuador, Ukraine, Germany, Italy, Canada, Bangladesh, Spain, Denmark, South Africa, Finland, France, Netherlands, Iran, Japan, Jamaica, Bulgaria, Sweden, New Zealand, Chile, Cyprus, Thailand, Senegal, Guatemala, Malta, Mexico, Brazil, Bermuda, Venezuela, Tanzania and more.
