their music falls into the category of world music , dub and drum and bass but also goes into metal , reggae and dance styles also .
discovered by the `` printemps de bourges '' festival network , revelation of the pop-komm 98 according to the german press , the band choose to record their first album in an abandoned movie theater located in the african district of paris .
the name `` ethnician '' was chosen basically because each is from a different ethnic background : miguel was born in portugal , igor was born in russia , garbis is from armenia and yvo is from egypt .
