The geniality of this sound, highly energetic, is played using only a regular set of drums, percussions and didgeridoo, the aborigene instrument of Australia, or ..Yidaki.. wich opens the doors of the "Dreamtime" and connects us to the big spirit.
Using just real instruments with an astonishing capacity, without any effect, sample or overdub, "Olivetree" is a trio with strong live energy, that plays a fusion of latin and afro brasilian styles full of ancient sounds with contemporary rhythms of tecnoland which creates a vibrating and fresh organic dancemusic, featured by irregular tempos and tasty grooves.
Their participation in the ETHNIC FESTIVAL of OPORTO ..ETNIAS.. rewarded them with splendid reviews on the national press..
BLITZ : ..Coming from another planet..is the best sound that is being made in Portugal!....."
