Podcast Episode Summary
World Cafe host David Dye welcomes Beirut, the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Zach Condon. The project began in his parents' New Mexico basement, where Condon cultivated an eclectic sound inspired by Balkan brass music. Beirut has since grown into an international touring band, and they recently released their third album, The Rip Tide. In this interview, Condon talks about his musical genealogy, plays live, including the song, Sante Fe, and he'll discuss the development of Beirut's sound on the new disc. Recorded in Mexico with a nineteen-piece band.
