Thievery Corporation is a Washington, D.C. -based production and DJ duo consisting of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton and their supporting artists. Their music style is Dub , Acid Jazz , Indian Classical and Brazilian (such as Bossa Nova ) fused together with a Lounge aesthetic. Thievery Corporation is on the Eighteenth Street Lounge Music Record Label named after the swank DC lounge partly owned by Eric Hilton, but several of their singles and EPs appear on the 4AD and !K7 labels. In 2002 , they released '' The Richest Man In Babylon '' on their ESL label. This fifteen track album is similar in sound and Timbre to '' The Mirror Conspiracy '' and features performances by vocalists Emiliana Torrini , Pam Bricker , and Lou-Lou. In 2005 they released The Cosmic Game , which has a darker, more psychedelic sound than The Richest Man in Babylon. The album also featured more high-profile guest singers on it, including Perry Farrell , David Byrne and Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips . In 2006, the group released '' Versions '', a selection of remixes done by Thievery Corporation for other artists and toured the United States, playing at Lollapalooza. The language of the lyrics to the group's various songs range from English , Spanish , French , Persian , Portuguese , Romanian to Hindi . This reflects the group's global feel and collaborative structure. POLITICS Thievery Corporation's lyrics are highly influenced by current political events. Tracks such as "Amerimacka" and "Revolution Solution" from their album '' The Cosmic Game '' and '' Richest Man In Babylon '' from the album of the same title reveal the group's opposition to current political events and most notably initiatives taken by the current Bush Administration .
