Santa Fe singer-songwriter Zach Condon releases music under the moniker Beirut along with a rotating collection of musicians. The group's music is inspired by the traditional Balkan and gypsy music Condon heard during a trip to Europe at age 16.

Zach Condon
Condon has been releasing music since the age of 15, and previously recorded as "The Real People." He typically plays the trumpet or ukelele with Beirut, as a wrist injury makes playing the guitar painful and taxing.After dropping out of high school at 16, Condon recorded a doo-wop album inspired by Frankie Lymon and a three-song EP credited to "1971."
Beirut Background
Condon formed Beirut in 2006, and released a debut album that year - Gulag Orkestar. Singles "Elephant Gun" and "Postcards from Italy" became popular with critics and on mp3 blogs. The follow-up album, 2007's The Flying Cup Club, was inspired by French pop music, with each track suggested by a different French city.
