the tropical underground is an amorphous audiovisual collective dedicated to exploring the common ground between world rhythm, electronica and free improvisation. the idea is to create a soundtrack to ritualistic, ecstatic abandon. the music is improvised within a pre-defined rhythmic framework, allowing it to work the head and the feet.

Jim Black - Guitar / Electronics. Jim also plays in Freek Beat Reaktor, Phloot Groove and KoKoMoDo
