Here is what they say about themselves on their soundcloud profile .
Natural music flows when thoughts are set aside and pure expression of the innermost comes out. This is exactly how we like to make music. Tribal Flora is a project that materialized 3 years ago. It started out as a group of friends casually meeting up and jamming out the sunsets at Cater road. Initially we did only percussive jam sessions using didgeridoos, djembes, morsings and various indigenous drums. The sound gradually crystallized into a form which was earthy and primal. One day we were asked to do a gig, so we came up with a name and went on stage.
More recently, we've built upon the solid foundation of tribal rhythm and added a variety of flavour to our music to create a unique sound. We include elements from Indian classical, tribal/folk, western(classical,jazz, blues, reggae, rock), electronica, DnB and psychedelic music. Our sonic arsenal comprises of various indigenous as well as mainstream instruments: We got tablas, djembes, a drumkit, didgeridoos, kalimba, guitars, morsings or mouth harps, flute and digital sound synthesis elements(MIDI/sequencer).
A lot of the inspiration is drawn from nature. We've spent a lot of time outdoors together,often jamming with the insects, birds, rivers, wind and fire. The majority of our music is spontaneously improvised.
All of us in the band are different people, coming from different backgrounds, musical influences and training. The common ground beneath our feet is the love for music, higher living, freedom and basically having a truly great time. Music is an excellent medium to cultivate, communicate and set aside boundaries.
