In A Mellow Tone
Wednesday January 26th, 2022 with Heavy Ben
Arica & Óscar Ichazo

Nowadays Arica exists only as the ‘Arica Institute’, a school of spiritual development formed and led by Chilean mystic Oscar Ichazo (b. 1931 in Bolivia, d. 2020 in Hawaii). However, the collective produced several musical albums recorded in New York City in the early 1970s. Anonymous, with no individual credits or members, these albums are an intriguing blend of modal and spiritual jazz, Indian drone and mantra, polyrhythms, East Asian and North African musics, and improvisational free jazz. http://www.arica.org https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%93scar_Ichazo
