Description
Global Tribe: Technology, Spirituality and Psytrance by Graham St. John explores the phenomenon of trance events and their enduring appeal to audiences worldwide. Through in-depth research spanning over a decade and a dozen countries, this book delves into the global dance culture that has emerged from psychedelic music scenes in Goa since the 1970s and 1980s. The author examines the pivotal role of festivals, from small gatherings to major international events like Portugal's Boom Festival, which celebrates visionary arts and trance. First-hand accounts from various countries, including Australia, Israel, Germany, Italy, the UK, and the US, provide a comprehensive understanding of this transnational movement with its diverse aesthetic roots and multiple national translations. By shedding light on the mystical function of trance and the communal experience of dance, Global Tribe offers a unique insight into the little-understood global dance culture that continues to captivate audiences.
