Balkanizing the States!

For those of you that don't know who Balkan Beat Box is, shame on you! Just kidding. It's fine. Here is a chance to get to know them. They are a mix of Israelis and Americans who make great music. It is pretty simple. They can put on some amazing performances. They utilize Balkan, East European and Middle Eastern tunes. You can find out more about them and listen to their songs at http://www.balkanbeatbox.com/index2.html, and http://www.myspace.com/balkanbeatbox. I had a chance to see their show at the Lotus Festival this weekend. It was great. They are nice guys, too.

Also, representing the Balkans was the gipsy group Kal. They were great too, and everyone liked them.

Below are some videos that I took. Check them out.

And, if anyone wants to discuss these bands and what they are doing please free to drop a word or two.
