‘The Richest Man In Babylon’ is the third studio
album by American electronic music duo Thievery
Corporation. It was first released in 2002 by ESL
Music.
 
The album features contributions from Emiliana
Torrini, LouLou, Pam Bricker and Notch, and
features both electronic and live instrumentation.
 
The album combines influences such as dub, jazz,
dance, rap, reggae and Indian music, and
incorporates protest music into the group’s sound.
 
Debuting in the mid-1990s, Washington DC’s
Thievery Corporation became one of the most
popular acts associated with chilled out, loungefriendly electronic music. The duo consists of Rob
Garza and Eric Hilton, whose musical style mixes
elements of dub, acid jazz, reggae, Indian
classical, Middle Eastern music, hip-hop and
Brazilian music, including bossa nova.
 
After a dozen highly acclaimed full-length albums,
remix LPs, concert recordings and over two
decades of incendiary live performances that have
thrilled audiences worldwide, Thievery
Corporation’s music and message is more relevant
and important now more than ever.
