The latter was precisely the choice of Zachary Francis Condon, enfant prodige from Santa Fe New Mexico who came back from a trip to the Old Continent as a different man. The soundscape of the Balkans and the vivid images of his experience were forever to be part of him.
He then gathered the best musicians he knew and put up the band by the name Beirut, adding a pinch more of exoticism that never fails. Their debut album is the proof that the melting pot still has something to say to the world.
