(photo: Myspace)I'm not always sure how to approach discussing the music of Beirut (the band, not the city) because I don't think I have the right knowledge of the musical and cultural inspirations behind it. It's not really ethno-pop, because it doesn't sound like our modern version of pop music, but one would guess that in a previous era, somewhere in this great big world of ours, these son...

Records and his own Pompeii Records, Condon decided to head on down to Oaxaca, Mexico to the village of Teotitlan del Valle, where he recruited The Jimenez Ban...

One-time boy wunderkind prodigy Zach Condon of Beirut sure does love sampling the toothpicks of flavors at the International Musical Food Court. This year he's in Mexico.While I wish this brilliantly conceived video by Owen Cook was just a *tidge* more clear in resolution, I dig the way the visuals go along with the sloppiness of the song and the drawings of the band. LOVE the animation of the ...

Not one of my favorite tracks from March of the Zapotec/Holland, which still speaks volumes for the devistatingly beautiful “Concubine.” Beirut (Zach Condon, Banda Jimenez, gorgeousness) is also randomly offering up The Flying Cup’s “Sunday Smile” as a free download on their site. By “their,” I mean Zach and the gorgeousness. (Pitchfork)

via Stereogum ... A while ago we mentioned that Zach Condon headed to Oaxaca, Mexico -- the weaver village of Teotitlan del Valle to be exact -- and hooked up with the 19-piece Jimenez Band band, who helped him get the sounds he needed for his March Of The Zapotec EP. Condon plans to release some short films documenting the experience, but in the Owen Cook-animated video for standout "La Llorn...
