Karibik Underwater



   Karibik Underwater is a unique band from the DR with a style that’s out of this world, or maybe, from under the sea.  The group uses complex Caribbean rhythms with experimental textures to create a sound that’s like an out of control Radiohead beach party.  They feature a bold, perception melting synth violin in the forefront that’s sure to get you grooving. 

   Lead singer and violinist Sunil uses his instrument to transport the listener to new worlds by skillfully utilizing bizarre electronic textures.  With both slow bow played harmonies and plucky melodies the violin solos are fire.   Sunil does more with his electronic instrument for Latin beats than electric harp virtuoso Kiki Bello, and the experimentation is sure to please fans of music like early Pink Floyd.   Sunil maximizes and pushes the limits of what a violin can do by squeezing complex delays and textured vocalizations from the stringed instrument.

   The group has a new live session video that’s worth checking out.  Catch all the psychedelic vibes here at this link.
