Taking a page from the book of early
'70s super groups, One Tribe Nation is an eclectic mix of world-class
musicians inspired by culture, diversity, and the concept of a single
world community. Based in Los Angeles, the group was brought together
by the vision of guitarist Michael Sanders. His father, the late Will
Sanders, was a pianist/singer who played and sang with The Inkspots,
Cab Calloway, Mercer Ellington and Count Basie throughout the fifties
and sixties. Michael's musical lineage is highly evident in the
intricate yet melodic songs on Servants Of A Lesser God. There is no
question to his guitar playing ability, but it doesn't stop there. Take
"One Trick Pony" - a high-energy track that combines melodic leads,
soulful groove and explosive Latin rhythms. "Amigos Del Diablo" delves
even further into the world community feel, highlighting Michael's
talents as a multicultural songwriter. For those seeking tribute to the
'70s sound, look no further than "Esoterica" - a song that demonstrates
Michael's ability to bridge classic musical influences with his own
signature sound. Joining the Nation for this release are all-star
greats like Luis Conte (Eric Clapton, Madonna, Santana), Andy Vargas of
Santana, Jimmy Roberts (Rod Stewart, Rick Braun) and long time Rolling
Stones backup singer Bernard Fowler, as well as touring members and
session players for such artists as Pink, Black Eyed Peas, Ricky
Martin, Frank Gambale, The Goo Goo Dolls and the Rembrants.
