Arc de Soleil

Although Arc de Soleil's discography is still short, getting into it is like opening a world map. The brains behind the group, guitarist Daniel Kadawatha, was born in Sri Lanka and grew up in Sweden, but sometimes Arc de Soleil sound like they come from the Sahara. A others, from Thailand, Andalusia, Texas or Jamaica. Or India. Or Jamaica. Or Turkey. The groove that runs through their psych-funk from top to bottom is unreservedly nomadic: their first and only album to date, Lumin Rain, redefines world music while placing Kadawatha and his band in the league of other sonic travellers such as Khruangbin, Glass Beams and BALTHVS.
