Bonobo

Electronic
ElectronicTrip hopWorld music

Bonobo is a Electronic and Trip hop act. Their catalogue also touches World music. Their sound grew out of Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Barry Can't Swim, Ólafur Arnalds, Kadhja Bonet and Yppah. Those roots explain a lot about how Bonobo arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Cinematic Orchestra, Thievery Corporation and Mr. Scruff, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Catching Flies, Parra for Cuva, Dels, Andreya Triana and Machinedrum, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around Bonobo, reaching back through Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and forward to Catching Flies.
