Deep Africa

French electronic duo Deep Forest have built their style through incorporating internationally sourced sound rituals, songs, and other sonic elements into their more modernized European electronica. Appearing first in the mid-'90s, Deep Forest rose to huge success and kept the same basic outline for most of their albums. Deep Africa follows Deep India and Deep Brasil in a series of albums where the band focuses on a particular region with their brand of sonic appropriation, blending native sounds with chilled-out beats. ~ Fred Thomas
