Thievery Corporation is an American electronic music duo formed in 1995 at Washington D.C. by Rob Garza and Eric Hilton. With a sound that defies strict categorization, the duo has become world-renowned for their eclectic blend of styles which includes elements of dub, acid jazz, reggae, Indian classical, Middle Eastern, hip hop, electronica, and bossa nova, among others. Their music often incorporates a strong theme of anti-corporatism and pro-social activism, preaching the virtues of peace and unity through their globally influenced soundscapes.

Over the years, Thievery Corporation has cultivated a rich discography marked by its international and cross-cultural inspirations. Their recent releases, such as the 2020 album "Symphonik," featuring symphonic versions of their previous works like "Sweet Tides" and "Lebanese Blonde," demonstrate their continuous evolution and willingness to experiment with new sounds and collaborations. The band had previously made waves with albums like "Treasures From The Temple," "Temple Of I & I," and "Saudade," each deeply entrenching them in the forefront of the downtempo scene. These projects showcase their sophisticated studio craft and have sealed Thievery Corporation's legacy as purveyors of a unique and influential sound that transcends the barriers of genre and geography.
