From the mystical realms of a secluded ancient island, rising from the icy spray of the forbidden northern waters, comes the sounds of Ìxtahuele. Ìxtahuele is a Swedish band from Gothenburg; a damp, foggy harbor town that ever since its founding in the early 17th century has been an international melting pot and that has been associated with exotic, faraway destinations ever since the days of the East India Trading Companies. Having grown up with the exciting tales of the sailors and the luscious smells and flavors of the markets, an interest in the romantic and exotic is an integral part of life for the group. Coming from a variety of musical backgrounds, ÌXTAHUELE strive to combine an immersive, research-like approach with their collective experience in jazz, pop, surf, classical, Latin and world music to create authentic, exciting, and innovative world-class exotica. Apart from touring in Scandinavia and Europe the band has done several celebrated tours and festival appearances in the US. The aim of the group is to provide the perfect soundtrack to bring your mind’s eye on a time-traveling, round-the-world trip. Ìxtahuele try to push the limits of where they can take you while armchair traveling.
