Beirut is the project of American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Zach Condon, born in 1986 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He launched the band in 2006 with the debut album 'Gulag Orkestar', drawing on Balkan folk music, brass arrangements and indie pop in a sound that set him apart from his contemporaries. Now based in Berlin, Condon has released seven studio albums and built a devoted international following across two decades of restless musical exploration.
