Vruno - Yolanda

This is my favourite track from a great band out of La Paz, Bolivia called Cubayande who are fusing Andean instrumentation with caribbean beats. I was gutted to miss them live in Sucre by a day.  I can't take much credit for changing much...I just fattened it up a little for my DJ sets. I'm not sure how you can get the self-titled LP but they've got a Facebook page. I got it from the manager of the bar 'Locots' they were playing the day after I left Sucre, as I'd been teaching him some English.

Cubayande - Cumbia Charango (Griff re-edit)

Original version released on The Original Sound of Cumbia (Soundway), comp compiled by Will "Quantic" Holland. LINK: www.soundwayrecords.com/catalogue/the-original-sound-of-cumbia.html

Jeremy Sole VS Hermanos Tuiran - "Lluvia Duro"

From the sweltering tropical depths of Cali, Colombia Will ‘Quantic’ Holland’s studio band Los Miticos Del Ritmo (The Mythics of Rhythm) return with an album of hip shaking, dancefloor quaking instrumental cumbias. Released on CD, LP and download on the 30th April. The LP is 100% analogue and comes with an original screen-printed front cover designed by the London based artist Lewis Heriz.

Assembled using vallenato and cumbia musicians living in Cali, Los Miticos del Ritmo are a 7 piece studio band put together by British musician, producer and now Colombian resident Will ‘Quantic’ Holland.

Covers of Queen’s ‘Another One Bites The Dust’, Michael Jackson’s ‘Don’t Stop’, The Abyssinians reggae classic 'Satta Massagana'  and Gildardo Montoya’s ‘Fabiola’ (as featured on Soundway’s ‘The Original Sound of Cumbia’ sit along side original cumbias on this feel good, house party cumbia LP.

Recorded in Will’s home studio in Cali, his approach was to produce an album with the aesthetics of 1960s tropical recordings made in Colombia and the Caribbean. Careful attention made to preserve the analogue quality of the recording at every stage.

‘The idea of the record was to record something that sounded like a lost cumbia classic,’ said Will in a recent interview with Soundway ‘Like something dug out of a Barranquilla basement after decades of humidity and dust. In a modern climate of mashups and sampling, it seemed refreshing to record something with musicians doing covers and approaching new ideas for cumbia, rather than rehashing old tricks.’

The record was recorded entirely on 4 track tape, using a process of overdubs and tape transfers to record multiple sessions at different times with different musicians. As Holland began to play the dub plates of the project in his DJ sets around the world, tracks like ‘Cumbia de Mochilla’ and ‘Another one Bites the Dust’ slowly became sure-fire dancefloor winners.

Los Mitcios Del Ritmo first saw the light of day on Quantic’s vinyl only EP ‘Hip Hop En Cumbia’, released last year through Tru Thoughts. The group includes Ancer Rada (percussion) grandson of the great Colombian accordionist Franscisco Pacho Rada, one of very first Colombian troubadours to tour unaccompanied with just his voice and accordion. The band is also compromised of Combo Barbaro regulars Fernando Silva (bass) and Freddy Colorado (percussion).

Since moving to Colombia in 2007 Will has slowly immersed himself in the musical history of the country. The much acclaimed ‘The Original Sound of Cumbia’, a 55 track compilation of Colombian cumbia and porro released on Soundway in 2011, was the result of five years of field research from Will. Simply finding and compiling old records is not however in Will’s DNA. The research is more an education for Quantic the musician who has been learning accordion for close to five years now, even taking lessons from Colombian and Panamanian accordion masters such as Anibal Velasquez and Papi Brandao.

Los Miticos Del Ritmo sees Will as an accordionist for an entire long player for the first time and must be the first traditional cumbia record recorded on tape in Colombia for many years.

Los Miticos Del Ritmo - Otro Muerde El Polvo (Another One Bites The Dust)

Este tema primero surgió en el 2006 dentro de la Iglesia abandonada / ensayadero del Festicumex de Eindhoven, una impagable invitación de Dick el Demasiado. Lo tocamos con Los Ecuador Everywer, una banda de cumbia rebajada en vivo (Garza, Negro Antíco, Diego Seoane, Mario Galeano). Luego en el 2009 hizo parte de los temas que grabamos en Bogotá durante la visita de Mad Professor, sin embargo nunca fue editada. Esta versión fue Dubeada en vivo por Mario Galeano en el 2012, para seguir con la regla de 3 años.

This tune first came up in 2006 during the rehearsals at the Festicumex in Eindhoven, an amazing experience provided by Dick el Demasiado. We played it that time with a band called Los Ecuador Everywer, a live Cumbia rebajada 4 piece band. Then In 2009 it was part of the songs we recorded for the project with Mad Professor in Bogotá, however it wasnt edited at the time. 3 years later in 2012 Mario Galeano made a live dub out of those recordings.

Ella siempre dice blanco y yo digo negro.
me hala pa' atra y pa'lante es que yo me muevo.

Si me pregunta por que (la quiero)
mi vida si su querer ( me muero)
Si me pregunta por que (la quiero)
mi vida si su querer ( me muero).

Ella siempre dice afuera y yo pa adentro
pero con mi sabrosura yo la contento

Cuando me dan gana de espantar la amargura
me entrego a sus besos tiernos y su locura

Si me pregunta por que (la quiero)
mi vida si su querer ( me muero)
Si me pregunta por que (la quiero)
mi vida si su querer ( me muero).
