Jeannie Hopper interviews Tamir Muskat, one of the three core members of Brooklyn-based Balkan Beat Box and features selections from their latest album "Give". Their music is a cultural alchemy as rich as "People's Republic of Brooklyn" indeed. This their 4th album, "Give" goes deeper on the 'beatology' with electronic fusions and deeper on the 'wordology' with politically laden messages while serving up some seriously fantastic party vibes! Coming to America from Israel in their early 20's and playing with so many bands and musicians as diverse as New York's cultural landscape, Balkan Beat Box--you could say--is what the United Nations would look like if its core was run by musicians speaking the universal language of music, and 'world peace'!
