A colorful compendium of happiness.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As a teenager, Infinity Knives (aka Tariq Ravelomanana) left Tanzania, passing through Kenya, South Africa and Madagascar, finally landing in Baltimore with his family. A labyrinthine journey in his musical style from which emanates a quickly identifiable energy. In the United States, the young teenager immersed himself in hip-hop culture and devoured Western classical music. This heterogeneous musical training leads him to create an experimental style made of unique combinations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/soundcloud.com\/phantomlimbgroup\/9-brians-1\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Entirely produced and composed by himself, his multifaceted music seems unclassifiable.
