Tribal Essence by NikMartken

Spirits, indigenous people, the Sacred Mother... These are elements that create the "Tribal Essence", at least for me.

Spirits are entities that could be anything, from our guardian angels to animals staring at you while walking in a pathway. Sometimes being “Indigenous” is the most natural and pure form of expression with ourselves, with others and with the natural cycles society is trying to remove from our concept of "normality". And then you have the "Mother"... which could be anything: Mother Nature, the Great Mother, a mother with her cubs, a human mother smiling at her daughter, a mother that's watching over her people, who were left behind on this earthly life, an old wise lady whom the village goes to in order to seek knowledge and wisdom... You pick.

Three songs, each one with its own essence, but all essences have one bigger purpose in common, a bigger meaning and no one can stand alone, each song needs the other one to feel complete, each essence creates a complete and tangible shape within us. This is the beauty of Tribal Essence, being part of Tribal Essence.

NikMartken is an Italian drummer and poli-percussionist which is obsessed with rhythm and all instruments that can create it.
He discovered the didgeridoo after an amazing journey around Australia and, after many years chasing it, NikMartken finally got in his hands a truly deep and addictive dream: the Handpan... Where the words can't explain what's going on, he lets the instrument do it.
