Beirut-For those of you haven't heard of this band they are truly a unique and special band to behold. On first listen one would certainly not guess that this band was fronted by a man born and raised in New Mexico. The man behind the band is one Zach Condon. He released his first album when he was 15 and at the age of 17 traveled to Paris and took a great interest in the native Balkan folk music. Combine that with his interest in world music and what you get is a spin off of that with his creation the band Beirut. His music is full of instruments that now a days are seldom used such as tubas and accordians. However in his latest album he does several songs through a music workstation.

While listening to his music one can't help but feel they are in a far off land in the middle of a circus almost. The bands latest effort is titled March of the Zapotec & Realpeople: Holland. A sold album that is vintage Beirut for the first several songs but takes a new electronic twist at the end. Definitely listen to these guys at Coachella you will be dancing in no time.

I have added two songs. The first being traditional Beirut and the second being unique to this album. The Akara and No Dice. No Dice being my favorite
