Do you know this about the band tantra?

  • Celso Valli attended the music school Giovanni Battista Martini Conservatory, initially founded in 1804.

  • The "Hills of Katmandu" remained on the Billboard's Dance Charts for forty-five weeks, peaking in the top five. A very innovative track for its time, featuring Disco, World Music, Funk, and slightly haunting vibes, sent listeners on a magical journey.

  • Tantra musically explored things like tarot reading and Brazilian cults.

  • Their basslines get described as "Moroder on steroids" by some.

  • "Hills of Katmandu" was such a famous club anthem in places like New York and Rimini that it became a staple for many DJs in the early 80s. Even Chicago House pioneer Frankie Knuckles played it during his set for New Years' Eve in Sydney.

  • Patrick Cowley has an outstanding remix of "The Hills of Katmandu."
