Groove Tribe

From the Artist A New Universal Tribal Culture - The idea behind this project goes beyond just musical styles. On a musical level, we found ourselves intrigued with the idea of combining ancient shaman rhythms and instruments such as tribal drums and native flutes with modern electronic beats and synthesizers. We started out by using select phrases and tracks from our native fusion albums and then we remixed them with trip hop grooves and electronica elements. Once we got deeper into the project and started to hear the results of our efforts, we realized that this kind of music represented bigger idea. Shamanism is common to all ancient peoples. We all share in these core rhythms as a part of who we are, and they can be found in a wide range of Modern electronic dance music and hip hop beats. As modern electronica blends with ancient shaman rhythms, we discover the emergence of a new universal tribal culture; one that celebrates humanity's diversity and awakens our common values. You can see this in the growing tribal music festival culture, popular movies such as Avatar and in music such as Groove Tribe. We hope you are as inspired by this idea and this music as we are.
