GHETTO RAGA

Berlin based free improvising band between 1997 and 2007.
Initiated and navigated by Thomas Zunk with four long-term line-ups.

This collection from my archive features the years 1997/98 and 2004.

For line-ups and detailed informations see the individual tracks. 
[Currently under construction!]

The name is taken from the second track "Ghetto Raga" on the first 1969 album by british THIRD EAR BAND "Alchemy" and also is program:
Instruments usually played in classical music playing free improvisations fenced in by simple and monotonous hand drum rhythms - usually just one ongoing hypnotic rhythm per piece.
Glen Sweeney, mastermind and drummer of TEB, later called their pieces "electric ragas".

All tracks private and unreleased recordings by Thomas.
