Natural Trance is a patchwork linking modern culture with ethnic sound. The Hiliight Tribe, five musicians and one sound doctor at the mixing desk, play a live performance for the dancefloors of the 3rd millenium. Digeridoo, Djembe, Guitar, Congas, Drumset or Bass , among others, come in synchronization with the Drum kick. Travelling the world is part of the deal, that's how the band finds its happinness, inspirations and way of life!

Love, Medicine and Natural Trance

From 1995 to 1997, the meeting of our producers (Kosmik Hoboes) in California, our many world music encounters, a mutual desire to surf the Maha Wave and our decision to form the Hilight Tribe brought us to Ibiza.There, the band performed it's first concerts along with magic sunset gatherings and secret full moon parties. Influenced by Ancient and Modern music, psychedelic and tribal sounds, Natural Trance is the vehicle that gave us access to the best of every world. Gradually, the movement got larger and the tribe got bigger amongst and outside the group. From sunset ceremonies in the mountains, to Goa trance parties or weekly accoustic trance sessions under the Pont Marie bridge, we would converge our efforts in the Natural Trance concept. Today, 3 albums have been released by Kosmik Hoboes Prod. and more than 400 gigs have been performed, yet this is just the beginning of an amazing adventure in constant evolution !

In the late years of the 19th century, as the Native american indians were witnessing the final chapters of their peoples' genocide, the Hopis had a vision :

"When the Earth shall be ill and that humans will have forgotten who they are, then, members from every race of the planet will unite and form one Tribe. It will save humanity and clean what is to be cleaned.
The persons constituting this Tribe will be Rainbow warriors"

Hopi Prophecy.
