Big Up Beirut

















Sometimes when I arise, I just have to hear Beirut. I don’t know it just seems to clear the air. What is it? The harmonies, the lilting brass or just stunning melodies. So fresh, so vibrant & even after hearing the new album so many times, the cd goes on again.

For some reason, I am drifting through a Balkan or tango phase at the moment. I am either listening to Beirut, Gotan Project, Bajofondo Tango Club or a recent acquisition: the Kocani Orkestar – ‘Alone at my Wedding’. The latter reminds me of my own wedding.
