Balkan Beat Box is steeped with an intense lifetime of research into their own non-Western roots as
well as other cultures. A quasi-circus event, BBB performs with a core of 6 musicians, collaborating with
artists from Bulgaria, Morocco, Spain, Israel, and Turkey who draw on a variety of styles from around the
world. Every event keeps the audience guessing what the next surprise will be.

New York-based Klezmer/Rock band Golem (named after the legendary Jewish Frankenstein of Prague)transforms the music of its Jewish grandparents, making it modern, edgy, sexy and brash. GOLEM has infused the World Music scene with a breath of fresh air from Eastern Europe. Fronted by Annette Ezekiel – bandleader, accordionist and singer – and madcap vocalist Aaron Diskin, Golem’s explosive onstage attitude gets Klezmer to rock.
