Kalacakra, a German psychedelic rock duo from Duisburg, emerged in the early 1970s, blending Eastern musical influences with Western rock elements. Comprised of Claus Rauschenbach and Heinz Martin, the band infused their sound with instruments like the flute, sitar, and diverse percussion, crafting a style often described as "mantric acid folk." Their sole album, "Crawling to Lhasa," released in 1972, has since achieved cult status among enthusiasts of the genre. After a 30-year hiatus, Kalacakra reunited in 2002 to produce "Peace," an album that leans towards New Age, showcasing their evolving musical journey.
