Curao

A 18 track electronic album (1h 8m 38s) — released May 12th 2017 on Tru Thoughts

The culmination of a creative partnership that has been sparking for the best part of a decade, 'Curao' is the full LP from world-renowned British producer Quantic and Colombian folklore singer Nidia Góngora. The record brings a new and highly original interpretation of the unique, rich and mystical musical traditions of the Colombian Pacific Coast.

That magnetic voice and captivating songwriting combine with infectiously danceable beats and forward-thinking production on 'Curao', a collection of original tracks with the addition of two traditional pieces from the region's rich songbook. Treating the stories and rhythms of Pacific music with utmost reverence, while forging a new and vital sound for today's dancefloors, it reflects the distinctive yet diverse nature of the Pacific Coast itself – an area brimming with beauty and creativity but also shaded by conflict, affected by the work of mining companies, private militias and the drugs trade.
