Eric Hilton and Rob Garza, at the center of a sensory maelstrom on Friday.

Attending a Thievery Corporation show is a chilled-out exercise in handling sensory overload.

For example, along with the group’s slew of musicians and singers, as well as video boards and a light show, there was a painter. And throughout the show Friday at the Fillmore Miami Beach, the painting he was working on would change. At one point it resembled a cross between a Gaudi and a Picasso. But as the night went on, colors became more muted.

It was similar to the musical style of Thievery Corporation. The songs weave and bob through all sorts of sounds, from Indian to hip-hop to African and a zillion places in between.

DJ Rob Garza was at the center of it all, presiding with beats and well-chosen touches. Meanwhile, the other half of the corporation’s driving force, Eric Hilton, occasionally wandered around the periphery of the stage, taking on the role of director.

Fans found themselves enveloped in a set that included some of the group’s best-known songs, including “Lebanese Blonde” and “Amerimacka”, but also some newer tunes. Sleepy Wonder, one of the band’s vocalists, sent the crowd roaring through “Sound The Alarm”, but there was also greatness in the quieter moments, such as “Glass Bead Game.”
