Supposedly they come from a commune in Sweden where their individuality and freedom of expression come from. Their music is a mix of funk fusion with elements of psychedelia and Afrobeat. The combo is at times
trippy and funky. The philosophy as described by one of their members is "A view of the world, a view of music, of cultures, that everything belongs to everyone."
