Tradition In Transition
Quantic & His Combo Bárbaro
Moving to Colombia allowed Will Holland to gather local musicians for this collaboration. The sessions fused his previous production background with the organic energy of a full ensemble. It results in a rhythmic dialogue between electronic sensibilities and various Andean and Afro-Colombian instruments.
Everything here draws from the climate and environment of Cali. By blending soul and funk with roots music, the project maintains a distinct urgency. It represents a specific shift in the output of Tru Thoughts, focusing on the intersection of global dance styles and traditional percussion textures.
