Music Interviews

Thievery Corporation

Many music fans perceive electronica as cold and impersonal. Washington, DC's Thievery Corporation is out to change all that. Producers Eric Hilton and Rob Garza borrow from such disparate styles as jazz, reggae, exotica and bossa nova; and merge them with dance-club beats. Liane joins the men behind Thievery Corporation at the swanky Eighteenth Street Lounge. (16:30) {NOTE: The new Thievery Corporation CD is titled The Mirror Conspiracy ESL Music catalog # 33}

Thievery Corporation: 'Retaliation' Music

Thievery Corporation describes its music as "outernational," with an "appreciation and empathy for all people around the globe." It's a fitting credo for a band that imagines the music of Jamaica, Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East as the root of its electronic music. Here, the duo talks about its politically charged new album, Radio Retaliation.
