TSM represents Los Miticos Del Ritmo licensing/sync rights for: North America
Artist Description: 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.
Los Mitcios Del Ritmo first saw the light of day on Quantics 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 Wills 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.
