Music Balkan Beat Box
by Shop Keeper May 20, 2009 - 9:09 am
Balkan Beat Box blends electronic music with hard-edged folk music from North Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans and Eastern Europe. The group was formed in 2004 by Ori Kaplan, former member of Gogol Bordello, and Tamir Muskat, producer of J.U.F.’s “Gogol Bordello vs. Tamir Muskat” and drummer for Firewater and Big Lazy.
Balkan Beat Box is the natural reaction of passionate musicians that demand the erasure of political and geographical divisions in music. While breaking down these borders, the band has created a new, unique sound that brings people together on dance floors all over the globe. Balkan Beat Box has steeped their music in a lifetime’s worth of research into their own non-Western roots. A quasi-circus event, BBB performers collaborate with artists from Bulgaria, Morocco, Spain, Israel, and Turkey, all of them drawing on a variety of styles from around the world. Every event keeps the audience guessing what the next surprise will be.
