Live and Direct!! Tonight Let’s All Go To Cali, Colombia with Quantic at the EchoPlex!
by Joy on Aug.15, 2009, under Events, Mochilla, VTech
If you’ve got plans tonight, break them. If they involve being in the LA area, make sure you the EchoPlex is on your agenda. If you’re hanging out with friends, bring them along and if they can’t be convinced, I suggest leaving them behind. Tonight, you need to come out to see Quantic. Brought to you by the wonderful folks at Mochilla and VTech, he’s live and direct from Cali, Colombia. And though Quantic is a good enough reason to come out on a Saturday night and break pre-existing plans, this one is even better. Introducing, in their LA debut is Quantic and his Combo Barbaro. I haven’t been this excited to see a musical performance since the Timeless Series.
With this 12th studio album, Will Quantic Holland has made an amazing album filled with the beautiful music of Colombia, accompanied by musicians such as the incredible Malcolm Catto, Alfredito Linares, singer Nidia Gongora and more.
So, tonight, August 15th, be at the EchoPlex. Get there early and make sure you find a spot up front and plant yourself for the rest of the evening. From amazing DJ sets to what is going to be a mind blowing musical experience, this event will be one for the books.
NPR’s Look Back at Arthur Verocai’s Performance at Timeless
by Joy on Aug.10, 2009, under Audio, Concerts & Tours, Mochilla, Timeless
NPR brings us a look back at Arthur Verocai’s ground-breaking performance earlier this year at the Luckman Theater as a part of the Mochilla/VTech TIMELESS concert series. Below is the write up of the event of Arthur Verocai’s first ever live performance in Los Angeles which was enjoyed by many and forgotten by none.
Arthur Verocai:
Return Of A Brazilian Secret
Arthur Verocai in 1972.August 10, 2009 - I was standing backstage at Cal State’s Luckman Theater when I saw him: tall and thin, dark and intense, his lanky frame barely filling what was supposed to be a fitted suit. Though he was missing the mane of black hair he wore on the cover of his self-titled 1972 album, he was unmistakably composer, arranger and producer Arthur Verocai. Largely unknown in his home country of Brazil, Verocai is worshiped by the likes of TV on the Radio, Cut Chemist, DOOM and Madlib — all of whom were in attendance at this historic event, in which Verocai led a 30-piece orchestra in the first and only performance of his legendary album.
The evening didn’t disappoint. Watching him on stage was transfixing. He didn’t have to do much; he’d done all the hard work at age 25, when he wrote the original charts that this orchestra, under his watchful eye, played to the note. You got the feeling that he recognized just how important this concert was — not just for himself, but also for the lucky audience of 1,200.
The next day, as I fielded emails, text messages and IMs from those who were there, Cut Chemist put it best: “That was one of the best shows L.A. has ever seen.” I felt the need to review my collection for some high points of Verocai’s varied career — which stretched from the heady psychedelia of O Terco (whose first album he arranged) to the gorgeous pop of the little-known duo Ana Maria e Mauricio.
