Tribe Vibe is past and future, raw and undefined, ancestral and infinite, wood and steel. Ganga Giri introduces the ancient Australian didgeridoo to the turntable, creating what he calls a 'manic-organic' experience. It's earth-centered, dance-inducing electronica for modern-day tribes. (Includes MPEG video of Ganga Giri live at Earthcore in Australia.)REVIEWS:
"Ganaga Giri is a wonderful musician. I first heard him at a Womad festival, and loved the mix of this ancient and primitive instrument with a wide range of great dance grooves. Ganga is really taking the didgeridoo to places it has never been before and developing a unique style of music."
--Peter Gabriel
"The raw indigenous sounds of the Australian outback meet the synthetic wizardry of the studio on this neo-Aboriginal collage from Ganga Giri. TRIBE VIBE is packed with energy and dynamic rhythms amidst a whirl of nature and vocal samples, techno loops and organic percussion. The album's centerpiece is the didgeridoo - it's earthy drone slinks through each of the ten tracks. The album opens with 'Nungabunda,' one of the more psychedelic, dance-oriented works on the album, before taking African percussion on 'Afrodesiac,' straight drumming (mixed with the didg) on 'Bushtucker Man' and down-tempo trip-hop on 'Spirit Remix.'"

"World-renowned musician Ganga Giri combines the ancient throb of the Australian didgeridoo with solid tribal beats and the technological rhythms of today. The result is an addictive, dance-inducing fusion of sound that will keep you entranced from beginning to end."
