- Notes: From the Balkan Beat Box website: “BBB are TAMIR MUSKAT and ORI KAPLAN ‚ Joined with the gifted musicians/composers Itamar Ziegler, Dana Leong. Both Tamir and Ori have been active for a decade in NYC’s premier underground bands like Firewater, Gogol Bordello, Big Lazy, Shot’nez, Victoria Hanna. and DJing around the world. Joined with VJ Alma Har’el who is one of Israel’s most accomplished VJ (using pre-recorded material incorporating artists on stage) and MC, Vocalist, Percussionist Tomer Yosef, the BBB show came to life. The idea of BBB is a natural reaction of musicians who are accomplished with not only tools and disciplines, but also DJing and extreme instrumentalism. All that topped with an intense lifetime of research into their own non-Western roots as well as other cultures. In collaborations with artists from Bulgaria, Morocco, Spain, Israel, and Turkey and through events synchronized with VJ Alma Har’el, BBB has created a magical show. A semi circus event lasting 3-4 hours, involving many disciplines with a basic core band on stage of 7-8 musicians and local artists (drawing on many multidisciplinary artists around the world). The event is synchronized and keeps the audience guessing where the next surprise will appear from.”
