Beni Sape Sibiu

Beni Sape is actively dismantling this.

When the band plays at the during the Sibiu International Theatre Festival, the sound doesn't just project into the air; it ricochets off the walls of the Council Tower. The result is a natural reverb that makes a violin sound like a choir of angels arguing with a rhythm guitar.

Beni Sape was born into this lineage. Growing up in the neighborhoods around Sibiu (known historically as Hermannstadt), music wasn't a career choice; it was the air he breathed. His father and uncles played in traditional taraf (bands). However, young Beni was restless.
