QUANTIC AND HIS COMBO BARBARO
Will Holland aka Quantic, is one of the UK’s finest, and most unique, musical talents, capable of working in a wide range of different genres… deep funk with the Quantic Soul Orchestra, reggae and tropical-dub with the Flowering Inferno, and now probably his most critically acclaimed outfit so far Quantic And His Combo Barbaro (literally a ‘group of barbarians’).
Since relocating from his native Brighton to Cali, Colombia in 2007, Quantic has released three magnificent albums – last years’ “Tradition In Transition” (Tru Thoughts Records) recorded in collaboration with many local artists, as Combo Barbaro has received excellent reviews and reached the top five of the World Music Charts. Likewise the live shows, have been enthralling audiences around Europe for the last year, featuring musicians from the UK, Peru, Argentina and Colmbia, including the mesmerising singer Nidia Góngora. They manage to weave a delicate path through all elements of Latin-American styles, fused with Caribbean and African rhythms – resulting in a sound that is simultaneously classic and completely contemporary and unique.
Now at last we have the opportunity to see this incredible live band in Barcelona, at the Esperanzah! World Music Festival, where they’ll be appearing on the same day as local legends Ojos de Brujo… making this an unmissable event.
