Description of tribal ambient music
Tribal ambient music is a subgenre of ambient music that incorporates tribal rhythms and sounds, often inspired by indigenous music from around the world. It typically features repetitive percussion patterns, drones, and atmospheric textures that evoke a sense of tribal or shamanic ritual. The genre emerged in the 1980s and 1990s, influenced by artists such as Brian Eno, Steve Roach, and Robert Rich, and has since developed a strong following among fans of ambient and world music. Some notable tribal ambient artists include Alio Die, Steve Roach, Vidna Obmana, and Jorge Reyes.
