Beirut is an American band that was originally the solo musical project of Zach Condon. Beirut's music combines elements of indie rock and world music. The band's first performance with the full brass section was in New York, in May 2006, in support of their debut album Gulag Orkestar,[2][3] though they performed their first show with Condon, Petree, and Collins at the College of Santa Fe earlier that year.

Condon named the band after Lebanon's capital, because of the city's history of conflict and as a place where cultures collide.[3] Beirut performed in Lebanon for the first time in 2014, at the Byblos International Festival.
