The REACH Opening Festival at the Kennedy Center

Thievery Corporation’s inventive integration of world music with electronica has pushed boundaries and influenced composers for more than two decades.

The D.C.-based duo has collaborated with such uniquely famed artists David Byrne, Perry Farrell, The Flaming Lips, Anushka Shankar, Femi Kuti, Seu Jorge, Bebel Gilberto, and have been featured on major film soundtracks such as Garden State. They’ve headlined top music festivals, such as Coachella and Lollapalooza, and have influenced a whole generation of electronic producers and DJs. Along their unique musical journey, they have virtually defined an entire sub-genre of electronic music. And now they’re ready to embark on yet another journey with the release of their new album, “The Temple of I & I.” Their musical style is influenced by dub, acid jazz, reggae, Indian classical, Middle Eastern music, electronica, and Brazilian music.
