Balkan Beat Box and Oi Va Voi
Thursday, September 22 2005
Irving Plaza, New York NY


event description
Presenting a wild mixture of styles ranging from Arabic and Jewish roots to modern day sounds such as electronic and hip-hop, Balkan Beat Box's music is truly a melting pot. Their self titled new album, out Sep 13th, is a fluid mix of Eastern European brass sounds, hip beats and rich rhythms influenced by Boban Markovic, Rachid Taha and Manu Chao.

O.V.V. is a British band who made an outstanding ethnic fusion record called 'Laughter Through Tears' - the sound of six young Londoners searching for an identity. The group is famed for their live shows that's steeped in the rhythms of Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and beyond.

DJ Acidophilus, a resident DJ of the ace GlobeSonic collective, will be showcasing global beats, dance tunes and electronic sounds from all over for a funky set that's sure to get the party started in style.
