Three decades ago, a love for classical music and international sounds brought together a group of classmates and friends at a small college in San Rafael, California. Their shared interest paved way for their world fusion music group. Their shared passion for worldly sounds, both old and new, allowed them to come up with the oxymoron band name Ancient Future. And within months, their unique combination of percussion, tabla drums, and guitar were heard far beyond the walls of their Grateful Dead studio.
Now 30 years later, they're celebrating their unique start and sounds with their 30th Anniversary CDs. The anniversary release consists of three new remastered editions of "Seven Serenades for Scalloped Fretboard Guitar" by Matthew Montfort, "Sangria" by Mariah Parker, and "Planet Passion" by the original band members.
It's not surprising that their music has stayed around for so long. In times of hatred and war, their peaceful lyrics are in high demand. Its in times like these that culturally aware and diverse tunes can greatly be appreciated. Music has proven to bridge divides and bring groups of people together unlike any other medium, and Ancient Future is definitely no exception.
And hey, their music is also great to just kick back and relax to.
