Balkan Beat Box

Balkan Beat Box are an American Israeli group playing Balkan inspired music.  Having listened to so much chalga it was interesting to hear some familiar sounds in a completely new context.
 

 

We got given quite a lot of flyers when we came out for other events that we might be interested in.  What I don't really understand is - why is this kind of Balkan music cool enough to merit more than one event in London but Balkans pop is not.  Would I still like gay Bulgarian chalga if I were a hipster? Probably not I guess, but then there is absolutely no chance of me being classified as a hipster.
