Babylon Circus (The Kennedy Center)

Babylon Circus

Babylon Circus, a group of French ska/reggae punksters, embraces this pursuit of alternate realities and social justice.  Their music is infused with touches of Django Reinhart, Balkan Gypsy music, and great French singers like Edith Piaf or Jacques Brell. Bob Marley is also inescapably present. Their eclectic fusion picks up where French alternative rock band Mano Negra left off, both bands touring extensively in their quest for social justice.  Wherever they go, Babylon Circus creates journalistic snapshots of life penned with music rather than words.
