We know his year of birth 1921. Today, the radio is celebrating its 100th anniversary.
And since we have a front row seat, we are now devoting a whole program of Accents d'Europe today to this medium which, despite the years, still has a very bright future ahead of it, including in Europe.

They are the descendants of Indian workers from Suriname, the former Dutch Guyana.
In The Hague, they have their community stations, like Vahon Hindustani… they continuously broadcast songs from Bollywood, a benchmark for the small community of 150,000 people.

Behind the scenes of Accents d'Europe
And we couldn't do a whole radio show without talking a little bit about ourselves.
By the way, how is the radio done?
How do the whole team and its thirty correspondents work in Europe?
