VORTEX TRIBE is a groundbreaking synthesis of worldbeat, acid jazz, and funk. Ethereal flute lines float over an intricate, relentless groove that recalls the glory days of fun. Masterful percussion from around the world mix with soaring guitar lines and synthesized layers in a haunting blend, as powerhouse drumming pushes the form between tightly arranged sections and open improvisation. With detours into reggae, latin, and classical filmscore, prepare to be taken into a timeless space--one ever-shifting between memories past and the furthest reaches of the imagination.
Led by former SANTANA and AL DI'MEOLA collaborator MINGO LEWIS, Vortex Tribe creates a sound as expansive as the band members’ musical careers. Vortex Tribe gives its audience a journey through foreign lands and exotic sounds taking any listener out of their everyday lives.
With support from New Zealand's hottest reggae/roots property HOUSE OF SHEM, this will be an evening of exotic worlds and parallel universes not to be missed.
