Balkan beat box when strife forces cultures to stand on opposite sides of a line, music can always find harmony. Based out of new york, the 10 musicians of balkan beat box have tossed political frictions in the trash, embraced the common language of their pan-mediterranean and balkan backgrounds, and brought it into the limitless world of global electronica. Led by iconic israeli klezmer masters ori kaplan (formerly of gogol bordello), and tamir muskat, the bbb sound is a mesmerizing miasma of everything from turkish melodies to gypsy-techno rhythms, psychedelic western guitars to balkan horns. More to the point, it's a liberating frenzy of sound: haunting ululations soaring over relentless and hypnotic beats, driven to ecstasy by the primal sound of what the band calls the nu-med sound.
