March of the Zapotec/Holland is a double EP by Beirut. March of the Zapotec contains music influenced by Zach Condon's then recent trip to Oaxaca, Mexico.[5] The Jimenez Band, a 19-piece band from Teotitlán del Valle, backs Condon on this EP.[6] March of the Zapotec also features one of Condon's favorite works, "The Shrew".[7] Holland contains electronic music, credited to "Realpeople", one of Condon's pre-Beirut pseudonyms.[8]
