Tribal House

Tribal House is a formed in the late 1980s variant of house music, which is distinguished by the use of traditional percussion instruments such as congas from other forms of play. The name Tribal himself says nothing about a real ethno sound or the like but was only used in accordance with the roots of the hand drum music from Africa and the indigenous peoples of the Americas for this style of music.

The classic tribal house sound is almost always instrumental. Electronic music elements or other accompanying instruments are used sparingly.

Subgenres

It developed over the 1990s, two major subgenres that are not always clearly distinguishable from each other but.

Balearic Tribal House

The rhythm style is very similar to the so-called Funky House tracks, included as instruments only that they Congas & Percussion ( and lately also sax and violins ) in addition. The hand drums give this style the rhythm ( in combination with the basslines ) and have a driving beat. The rate is usually 127-130 bpm.

Another development Tribal House learned about the turn of the millennium. From the U.S. new labels like Siesta Music, Tango Records, Nightshift, Bluem or Double Down Records came. New producers like Joeski, Halo Varga, Hipp -E, Tony from New York and the East and West coast and gave the genre a new impetus.
