A band I like

Hi!, today I'm going to talk about a band I like. This is really hard, because I love music, but if I have to choose a band, I have to say that my favourite is Beirut, which is considered by me as the best band ever. I don't know how many people are aware about their existence, don't know how popular they are, but they make a very good music. In case you don't know them, I'll tell you a little bit of what is their style. Their music combines elements from eastern Europe, folk music and mexican music. As you can see, it's a very unique style, or at least a very different one. I have to tell you, that this is what I like the most.

As a band, they started to make their very first presentations on may of 2006, to promote their launch album "Gulag Orkestar". Their leader is their vocalist, Zach Condon, who started as a solo project and then created this band. They are american, by the way.

My favourite song by Beirut is "Postcards from Italy", because everytime I listen to this song I just let go and relax. They have some other very good songs, like "Elephant gun", "Scenic world" or "Santa fe". I just want to say that I'd love to see them someday in a concert.

Here is a video, if you want to listen to them. I hope you enjoy as much as I do.
