Beirut recently took the Tiny Desk Concert stage, showcasing their infectious music and upbeat energy. Led by Zach Condon, Beirut started as his solo project before evolving into a full band. The group's music combines elements of indie rock and world music, delivering a unique sound that captivates audiences. This performance featured songs from their new album, The Rip Tide, which exuded a joyous vibe that had everyone at NPR smiling along with the band. Beirut's name pays homage to Lebanon's capital, a city known for its cultural collisions and history of conflict. Despite a dusty trail leading to the concert after a scorching show at Bonnaroo, the band's energy and inspired tunes shone through, leaving a lasting impression on the Tiny Desk audience.
