A multinational group with a nomadic sound, Crystal Fighters unite electronic music, pop, and traditional music from around the world in celebratory ways. Basque music and instrumentation provided the heart of their energetic style on their 2010 debut album Star of Love, but they soon incorporated Latin and African elements -- as well as dubstep -- on 2013's acclaimed sophomore effort Cave Rave. Crystal Fighters' horizons and reference points expanded on each of their releases, with tropical and psychedelic influences coloring 2016's Everything Is My Family and 2019's globe-trotting mixtape Gaia & Friends featuring collaborators from South Africa, Colombia, and Chile. On 2023's LIGHT+, the group added cumbia, among other styles, to their festive musical melting pot.
