Music that doesn't suck: Tradition In Transition by Quantic and his Combo Bárbaro


Will Holland, more commonly know as Quantic, is a prolific DJ and Producer hailing from Worcestire, England (although most of his production is done in Colombia). He's probably got about 20 albums under his belt (usually under different variations of his "Quantic" monicker). His style ranges from Hip-Hop to House/Electronica to cool Jazz. I'm focusing on one of his more recent albums: Tradition in Transitions. This album is heavily soaked in Latin American and Afro-Cuban sounds. Powerful Horns, Melodic Strings, and the occasional Vocal performance make this an album that you'll probably have on replay for a while. Believe it or not, I got my 1st taste of this Album during DREAM.12's slick Promotional Video/Show Opening (seen below). If you're a fan of Latin/Afro-Cuban music, then you'll love this. Even if you're not a fan of it, you'll still find it aurally stimulating.
