[Tweaked]

What is Ondatrí³pica?  In short, the Colombian answer to Buena Vista Social Club.

From the YouTube album teaser:

"Conceived by Colombian musician Mario Galeano, the force behind the band Frente Cumbiero, and English producer Will 'Quantic' Holland, Ondatrí³pica brings together an all-star cast representing both the classic and modern styles of la musica Colombiana.

Over 3 weeks in January 2012 at the famous Discos Fuentes studios in Medellí­n legendary figures from Colombian music joined a group of younger Colombian musicians that included members of both Mario's band Frente Cumbeiro and Quantic's Combo Barbaro. The plan; "to re-interpret the tropical musical heritage of Colombia with new approaches in composition, arrangement and production in a classic and mythical setting."
