All-star Colombian group Ondatrópica have announced the release of the debut single 'Punkero Soindero'.Released on 7" vinyl and digital on Soundway Records on 25th June the single will be followed by their debut LP on 16th July. Conceived by Colombian musician Mario Galeano, the force behind the band Frente Cumbiero, and English producer Will ‘Quantic’ Holland, Ondatrópica came together over 3 weeks in January 2012 at the famous Discos Fuentes studios in Medellín.
Legendary figures from Colombian music joined a group of younger 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.”

First single 'Punkero Sonidero' is a raw, instrumental tune and with its analog synth bass and four-to-the-floor feel is the band's salute to the cumbia diaspora worldwide. It was one of the first tracks that the group recorded after they entered the studios in Medellín. 'I Ron Man' is on the flip-side, a drunken take on Black Sabbath's classic 'Iron Man'.
Ondatrópica will perform headline shows at The Hackney Empire and Concorde 2 in Brighton as well as appearing on the Americas Stage at the Tower of London as part of the BT River of Music on the 22 July 2012.
