Zero Degree Atoll

Zero Degree Atoll exploded into the mainstream with the launch of the “Dhoni” album in the late 80s. All of the tracks in the album were very local and compiled with original tunes extracted on an expedition throughout the islands of Maldives. The Dhoni album was the first, one and only till today of this type made of local ambience, percussions and sounds from the island life and modern instruments.

While Zero Degree Atoll’s mainstream popularity waned in the months following the Dhoni album release, their core audience cherished the band’s dark interior, particularly after their performances in many of the European countries in addition to Australia.
