Combining a dizzying mishmash of everything from Bulgarian folk music to sultry European saxophones via Gypsy beatboxing and Bangra chanting, Balkan Beat Box are one of the most creative bands I’ve ever heard. Check out the entire album for free on their website; stand out tracks being ‘Bulgarian Chicks’ and ‘Adir Adirim’, then rush to Amazon to snaffle a copy. Not one commerical act on the go today can achieve in an album’s-worth of tracks what Balkan Beat Box can do in a few seconds: demand your undivided attention like a sledghammer to the balls.
I’d love to hear your opinion on the album!
