Hey guys, congratulations!
The music is pleasant, driving and at the same time free and trippy.
Great to chill and to dance. Very good band! -Airto Moreira
- Kundalini Boombox is a world-class collective of improvising musicians dedicated to creating transformational dancescapes and musical journeys for total sound immersion. The band came together under the auspices of Brazilian percussion master Airto Moreira at the Esalen Arts Festival, in Big Sur, CA, two years in a row, to a rave response from dancers and listeners alike. With influences from around the globe including Brazilian, Mediterranean, Asian, Indian, and African, as well as jazz, funk, rock, electronica and ambient, Kundalini Boombox is whole world music.

Thanks for the add...
You guys are fun. So many different sounds coming together in harmony...a real trance-like journey.
Love the videos too. Wonderful to see you playing live Kit.
Hey Kit!
Obrigada (thank you) for the pic comment. I had a great time wrap up in orange cloth. The whole band came on stage with a Budha mask.

Just dropping by to say that in celebration of the rare Ancient Future Guitar-Sitar Jugalbandi show March 31, 2007, at Northern California's Larkspur Cafe Theatre, we have finally added our fourth myspace song: a live version of the song Socha Socha from the Planet Passion CD that was recorded for the Echoes Radio Living Room Concert Series. For a limited time only, we are offering it as a free download. It's not available on iTunes or any other download site, and it will be removed on April 1, so download it while you can. Hope you enjoy this gift to our myspace friends!
