Music - Balkan Beat Box (listen online)

The sound of Balkan Beat Box carries a faint reminder of the day the circus came to town, with dancing ladies and big trombones. But the dancers are belly dancers and the saxophones and brass recalls the Klezmer tradition of going from village to village to weddings and funerals.
