About / Biography

Olive Tree Dance (OTD) emerges as a captivating instrumental trio hailing from Portugal, boasting a distinctive blend of didgeridoo, drums, percussion, and voice. The essence of their music draws deeply from diverse continents, weaving a rich tapestry that encompasses world music and tribal electronic influences. OTD stands as a pioneering force in the Portuguese music scene, offering a unique fusion of Latin, Jazz, and Afro-Brazilian styles harmoniously interwoven with contemporary rhythms from the realm of techno.

What sets OTD apart is their commitment to an organic musical approach — a departure from conventional norms. The trio crafts their uplifting, energy-infused sound using only a regular set of drums, percussion instruments, and the unmistakable resonance of the didgeridoo. Devoid of sound effects, samplers, overdubbing, or digital instruments, OTD relies solely on the raw, natural power of their chosen instruments. This approach not only makes their music authentic but also radiates a contagious enthusiasm and positive energy that reverberates through their compositions.

The resulting sonic experience is a marriage of ancestral and contemporary vibes, characterized by irregular tempos and irresistible grooves. OTD's music becomes a potent force, shaping a unique danceable atmosphere. Their performances are not mere concerts; they are immersive journeys that transcend musical boundaries. The tribal spirit embedded in their compositions transforms each show into an unforgettable collective dance celebration.

OTD has graced some of the world's most prominent trance festivals, including Boom Festival with the theme Shamanism, Shankra Festival, Universo Paralello, Ozora Festival, and One Tribe Festival, leaving an indelible mark with their powerful performances. As they prepare to unleash their upcoming album, "Water Return," OTD continues to evolve, pushing the boundaries of their sound and solidifying their status as trailblazers in the global fusion music landscape. Stay tuned for the rhythmic waves of "Water Return," an eagerly anticipated addition to OTD's musical odyssey.
