About Kadabra
The inventor, the broader vision and how Kadabra came to life
The Inventor
Kadabra was invented, developed and produced in full by Tal Ben Ari (aka Tribal Tul), a former Music producer, DJ/Live performer in over 500 shows world-wide, a technology freak and mostly a programmer from a very young age (very young)!
Tribal-Tools
Tribal-Tools is the creative and technological framework behind Kadabra, bringing together instrument design, software development, performance thinking, and new approaches to musical expressions
How Kadabra was conceived
Making the actual first Kadabra came while Tul was working with his innovation partner Ori Ben-Shabat in the hi-tech dance company Maria-Kong, starting 2009 developing there till 2018…

Maria-Kong created extremely unique performances using the most advance technologies the couple could wield in that period, every day was a new struggle, exploring new technologies to blow peoples mind. while most innovations required dancers to be equipped with ergonomic electronics, the company (Maria-Kong) never wanted to reveal why the dancers look so much in tune and in rhythm with the music, it was just Magic! never used as a marketing gimmick to draw peoples attention, Maria-Kong needed more and more sensors and tech in its worldwide shows becoming a cutting edge phenomenon in its genre, so Tul created an OS to receive new technologies and use them in a stable and robust way. and that is still the base of Kadabra-OS, the program that communicates and translates Kadabra to a musical tool.
