The Tower of London is a world heritage site and one of the most iconic London landmarks. Nestled next to the Thames, the Tower of London hosts the stage celebrating the melting pot of music from the Americas.

Will Holland aka Quantic has joined forces with Mario Galeano of Bogota's pioneering Frente Cumbiero to create Ondatrópica a new band embracing the past, present and future of Colombia's tropical cumbia sound.Ondatrópica cradles the talents of some greats from the seventies golden age of Medellin's Discos Fuentes such as Michi Sarmiento on sax, Wilson Viveros on timbales and Pedro 'Ramaya' Beltran on flute alongside a breaking wave of young tropicalistas including Nidia Gongora on vocals and the mighty Chongo on percussion to create a new Caribbean sound spanning the musical generations.

With the support of The British Council

Produced by the Barbican in association with ¡Como No!
Location : The Tower of London, The Americas Stage
