Artist description Moments Of Clarity is a four member, purely instrumental band from the Northwestern US. Our music is essentially Afro-Cuban rhythm combined with ambient Hindustani melodies and didjeridu. We are, at any one point, into extensive jams, hypnotic groove, acid jazz, poignant subtlety and exotic Indian melodies.
