Midweek Mixdown: Colombia at 78 RPM with Quantic

Check out Will "Quantic" Holland spinning a selection of Colombian 78 gems for My Analog Journal. 


Colombia at 78 RPM with Quantic 

Caribbean Rhythms From The Jukebox Era

"I spent years searching for records in Colombia, collecting LPs, 45s and especially fragile 78rpm shellac discs, often losing them to breakage along the way. What fascinated me was how Colombia’s jukebox culture kept 78s alive well beyond the 70s, preserving a rich, folkloric sound shaped by labels like Fuentes and Curro and artists such as Andrés Landero. Through digging, compiling The Original Sound of Cumbia, and later projects like Ondatropica, I’ve tried to share these recordings and honour the musicians behind them. Despite the technical challenges of playing and restoring these records, there’s something powerful about how music recorded over seventy years ago can still resonate so deeply today.

"I had a lot of fun compiling these records for My Analog Journal and I'm really proud with how the mix turned out. Live now on Youtube. 

"Hope you enjoy."

Peace,

Will
