influenced by the sounds of myriad cultures and eras, the selmanaires sound is a musical collage which dances the border between tradition and experiment. formed in 2003 on selman street, atlanta, georgia, by herb harris, jason harris, and tommy chung, the group expanded to a four-piece, first with mathis hunter on guitar and percussion, and in 2008 mario schambon on percussion and, on occasion, adron on vocals and guitar. their dynamic is based on a mutual love of the hypnotic sounds of can and kraftwerk, brazilian bossa nova and tropicalia, and '60s pop from all around the globe.
