Harsh Agarwal Jazz hasnt been of the radar for a few months. There wasnt anything that was coming out that was catching my fancy.

ENTER Ixtahuele and they have completely blown me away. It is one of these records that in 20 years time will be considered a spiritual jazz standard.

Stunning stunning stunning stunning stunning. Cannot say it enough times!

Max Sublime - play this at my funeral. Favorite track: Fire of the Soul (feat. Joe Romersa).

the Sanguine Penguin Taking sheet music from 50 years ago that had never before been recorded is truly like opening a time capsule of sound. This is a magical experience. It was a surprise to get vocals and lyrics, but they are not only perfectly executed but they flow and mesh with the exotica tracks to create a harmonious whole. This will be on repeat throughout this summer (and beyond)! Mahalo. Favorite track: Manna (feat. Kadhja Bonet and Orange Crate Art).

fatherfrankjr I found your music browsing Exotica style music on Amazon and I became an instant fan. There are several other Exotica revival bands out there but you guys are the purist, most true to the form out there! I am so happy for a new CD! Keep on doing what you're doing!

about

Eden Ahbez's "Dharmaland," arranged and performed by Ìxtahuele, is the first-ever recording of this long-lost masterwork by the original hippie composer of "Nature Boy." Resurrected from Ahbez’s unrecorded sheet music, c. 1961-63, Ìxtahuele has woven an enchanted tapestry of mystic exotica and experimental pop that re-establishes the songwriter as a forefather of psychedelic music and brings his work into the present. They are joined by a host of guest artists, including nine of Ahbez’s friends and former collaborators, as well as contemporary performers Kadhja Bonet, Xenia Kriisin, and King Kukulele. The composer’s own handmade drums and bamboo flutes also appear throughout the recordings. As author Domenic Priore writes: "'Dharmaland' is to Eden Ahbez what 'Smile' was to Brian Wilson."

Ìxtahuele Gothenburg, Sweden

ÌXTAHUELE is a Swedish exotica band. They come from Gothenburg; a damp, foggy harbor town that ever since its founding in the early 17th century has been an international melting pot, associated with exotic, faraway destinations ever since the days of the East India Trading Companies. ... more
