TANTRA

Tantra biography
Formed in Mar de Plata in the year 2004, the Argentinean instrumental ensemble TANTRA was born in a basement full of young musicians eager to create music that could be fresh and dark at the same time. The road of psychedelic prog was the choice taken by these young lads in order to make this idea real. The band?s debut release was a demo EP entitled "Horas", comprising three tracks recorded in May of 2006: it was available via free downloading in the Internet for some time.

By then, the band had accomplished a loyal following in the arena of experimental rock, both in their native city and in bigger venues such as the ones in Buenos Aires and La Plata, where they frequently shared bills with other big Argentinean avant-rock names such as HONDURAS LIBREGRUPO, EL FESTIVAL DE LOS VIAJES, LUZPARÍS, PEZ, POSEIDÓTICA and many others. Many of these gigs were multimedia events where music was only a part of the whole picture. Indeed, TANTRA has always been a band capable of enriching its sound in many creative ways, and no doubt these events were highly influential during their maturing process. And so, the time came when TANTRA decided that it was time for a full-fledged album to be released, which would eventually become "Satori", the proper debut release. This album's repertoire was recorded in various sessions between June of 2009 and February of 2010, a magical display of psychedelic rock that paid homage to the classics of experimental progressive rock from the 70s while defining a particular refurbishment to the resulting sound that keeps it from becoming dated. Hopefully, there will be more albums by TANTRA in the near future, since "Satori" is an awesome testimony of the genius that exists in contemporary prog rock from South America.
