There Are Multiple Artist With This Name 2 The 13th Tribe Is A World Fusion Ensemble Founded In 1990 By German Artist Werner Durand.

He Has Been Working With Instruments Which He Has Built Out Of PVC/acryl And Which Are Blown With Mouthpieces Of Trombones Clarinets Or "neys" And Are Conjuncted With Digital Delay.

The Third Musician Brazilian Silvia Ocougne Provides Cyclic Rhythmical Structures On Prepared Guitar. Percussionist Pierre Berthet Appears As A Guest On Three Tracks. Durand And Balke Play Games Of "call And Response" Reproduced In Stereo They Do Sound Like A Ping-Pong Game Over Ocougne's Cycles Each One Moving At His/her Own Pace Periodically Losing The Others And Catching Up On Them. This Process Creates Soft Unreal Slow-Evolving Textures Belonging To Both Meditative And Avant-Garde Music. Because Of Its Ritualistic Patterns And Similarities Between The Tribe's Devices And Such Autochthonous Instruments As The Didgeridoo The Alp Horn Or Even The Pan Flute This Music Has A Distinctive Exotic Quality. Somewhere Between The Andes And Australia Probably Lies An Island Where The 13th Tribe's Music May Be Used For The Religious Ceremonies Of A Postmodern Civilization. 2 The 13th Tribe Is A Collective Of Musicians DJs Producers MCs And Singers Spanning 5 Continents And Over 15 Different Countries.
