Quantic's Colombian combo at The Sage Gateshead
Coming up at The Sage Gateshead in September we have a very special night of fresh latino grooves...
Sunday 13th September. Hall Two, 8pm. The Sage Gateshead and ¡VAMOS! present... Quantic and his Combo Bárbaro
Forming from the ashes of Quantic Soul Orchestra, Quantic (Will Holland) upped sticks and embarked on his own South American adventure... Now settled in Colombia he presents his new South American band of Barbarians (or outside of Europeans) - 'Combo Bárbaro'. Fusing psychedelic, experimental and rhythmically rich sounds of Latin America, Africa and Caribbean past this new group give new life to the ever-evolving musical landscape of the Americas.
If you like the trippy cumbia of Chica from Peru, classic Nuyorican grooves, the straight up sass of salsa or any of the previous Quantic manifestations then you'll love this! To get a FREE taster from the album go to www.xlr8r.com/mp3/2009/06/arianita for a (320) MP3 of 'Arianita' for your iPod!
'The album is amazing, with the real coup being the string arrangements by Brazilian genius Arthur Verocai.' The Independent
Support on the night is aptly provided by North East Peruvian DJ, musician and promoter DJ Alx Alfaro. Behind many of the region's best loved Latino fused club nights expect a mixture of latino rythmns...
