12 tribes Of Mars - Mountain Flower

 

Is planet Earth weighing you down? 12 Tribes are ready to take you away. Mars is the destination and their music is the spaceship. Drop your past to join them in a future where humans from all walks of life build new traditions, and music is the language we all speak.

12 Tribes of Mars takes the basic elements of the Reggae, Ska, and Dub traditions and blasts them into outer space. A closer listen reveals that what might seem familiar at first has a truly unique and eclectic sound. Heavily influenced by the spirit of free improv, the music is as sexy and danceable as it is uncompromisingly gritty.

All members of 12 Tribes of Mars are trained jazz musicians that are most comfortable in the borderland between musical genres. Their first single Mountain Flower showcases their style and is just a small appetiser of their full album, which will be released in 2026 on digital and on vinyl.
