Tonight, tonight!! Prepare yourself for a wild party in Prague: the Israeli-American band Balkan Beat Box is coming to the LMB! For the uninitiated, Balkan Beat Box first burst out of New York City’s underground music scene in 2005, with a self-titled debut that introduced the world to their Mediterranean-inflected, globalized electronica sound. Founded by Israeli-born ex-pats Ori Kaplan (ex-Gogol Bordello), Tamir Muskat (ex-Firewater), the band built their reputation on explosive live shows. BBB soon added frequent collaborator Tomer Yosef as frontman – his wild onstage energy galvanizing live audiences ever since. Inspired by last year’s people’s protest movements across the globe – from the Arab Spring, to Occupy Wall St., to Israel’s own massive social protests Balkan Beat Box’s new album Give captures the cautious hope and re-energized spirit of our time. In the songs you find Israeli, Arabic, Balkan and African influence, as well as hip hop, reggae, gypsy punk, dub and electro. This concert is perfect to celebrate the summer, come and enjoy.
Tickets are available at the cash desk of the LMB for 450,- CZK, at Lucerna Music Baru and Ticketpro, Ticketportal, Eventim and Ticketstream (+fee). At the door: 550,-CZK.
