Consensus

Beyond the Pale‘s explosive acoustic sound is inspired by a wide range of crosscultural influences, from European folk styles (Balkan, Klezmer, Gypsy, Romanian) to contemporary and North American music (bluegrass, jazz, reggae, funk, and more). The Toronto-based ensemble are known for their instrumental virtuosity, infectious energy, and unique repertoire of original compositions and inventive arrangements of traditional material.
