Thievery Corporation
American electronic music duo which was formed by Rob Garza and Eric Hilton in 1995. Their music mixes elements of dub, acid jazz, reggae, Indian classical, Middle Eastern music, hip hop, electronica, and Brazilian music, especially bossa nova.
Garza and Hilton met in May 1995 at the Eighteenth Street Lounge in Washington DC. They were introduced by a mutual friend and proceeded to discuss their admiration for the work of Antonio Carlos Jobim, ’60s-’70s bossa nova, and jazz. Weeks later, in a home studio, they began to work on the music that would launch Thievery Corporation. After several early 12″ singles, Thievery Corporation released their first Lp, “Sounds From the Thievery Hi-Fi” on ESL Music.
