Description
"It was 2011 and we sat at the side of Avenida Roosevelt as mopeds streamed by and the sun blazed overhead. We both clutched black plastic bags split at the corners by used records. This was our first meeting (Mario travelling from Bogota to Cali, where Will was living), which would become a monthly reunion, as the ideas and shared passions which would become Ondatropica began to take shape.
Within a year, a recording was made and tour plans were laid. Ondatropica surpassed our expectations, and through the collaboration of more than 40 musicians and supported by the faith and admiration of thousands of record collectors and fans, a new gold standard of Colombian music was made. Since that meeting, a second record has long been slated - with ideas for compositions bubbling through the years, riffs imagined on the back seats of tour buses and the input of visiting musicians all adding richness and texture to the sound.
The premise of the second album was to record in Bogota and Old Providence Island (Isla de Providencia). Two contrasting locations, but united by their reputation as musically creative hubs - Bogota, with its subversive underground expressing an active, punky, DIY mentality and Providence reinterpreting and updating a Colombian national identity through a proud renaissance of regional folklore coupled with a fervor for dancehall and reggae sounds.
