GVPTA: Greater Vancouver Professional Theatre Alliance

Presented with the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad

Israel's ultimate party and dance band returns to Chutzpah! with their full band, but this time to a Granville Street dance club, The Venue! Balkan Beat Box weaves the exotic sounds of the Middle East with urban electronic grooves and hip-hop beats at their energetic circus-like concerts. With wailing horns and the fast and furious folk beats found in gypsy and Balkan music, the group breaks down political barriers with infectious enthusiasm because, "As our ears don't have them, why should we?"
