Tradition In Transition - recorded in Cali, Colombia - was the first album from Will Holland's project Quantic and his Combo Bárbaro. This classic Tru Thoughts release is now back on double LP, housed in a gatefold sleeve and including a download code.

On Tradition In Transition Holland sets about mining the lesser-tapped musical sources from the Caribbean, Latin America and Africa and fusing those rediscovered psychedelic, experimental and rhythmically rich sounds of the past with deep funk and soul elements and folkloric vocal styles. This exceptional longplayer gives life to an explosive sonic snapshot of an ever-evolving musical landscape, played out by a carefully assembled international cast of musical creator.

The Combo Bárbaro includes the Peruvian pianist Alfredo Linares, revered Brazilian arranger Arthur Verocai, and British drummer Malcolm Catto of The Heliocentrics.
This album preceded the hugely successful 2012 album with Quantic, Alice Russell and the Combo Bárbaro.
