When Ariane was growing up in Paris, she was surrounded on all sides by the creativity of her family. Her grandfather was the well known French painter known as MacAvoy, her mother is an actress in France who has appeared in both films and stage. Ariane found her true passion in west African dance and drumming. She has been playing Djembe and studying West African Dance since the age of 15. Her journey into Psychedelic Electronica began in 1985 in Goa, when she met Goa Gil, and together they started, and continue, to work on their concept of redefining the ancient tribal ritual for the 21st century. Imagine lost tribes in the depth of the jungle, imagine secrets of ancient civilizations... Imagine a pagan ritual in the mist of the night... Imagine natives trance dancing around holy fire wearing masks on their heads... Imagine blood sacrifice... Imagine Nimba !
