Anca

ANCA rises as a contradiction, defying all conceived notions of what is wrong and right as viewed from a music perspective and hitting us with a smashing, dry, simple in-your-face style. What comes as surprise is how incredibly addictive it becomes once listened to the first time.

Born in Medellin, Colombia; Anca never in his life had a musical schooling, didn’t appear on child choirs, and when singing the national anthem at school he was asked to keep a low voice. The streak changed when in his teens he recovers a long lost guitar in his grandmother’s place which he soon taught himself how to play, and started writing his own songs which served as an emotion-sink.”
He moves then to the multi-cultural city of Miami where his guitar is not only his companion but a partner in his quest to discover and learn of so many different cultures. It is during this experience that his songs become colored by all of the new influences he is in contact with over a semi-nostalgic tribute to his country’s folk musical styles. His lyrics reveal an intriguing story of love, deception, and insight into our legacy through a distinctive use of folk musical instruments and genera to create a Rock’n’Roll atmosphere of no previous reference in today’s culture, yet it catches your attention the second it comes on and stays inside playing over and over. It cannot be confined in only one genre as it uses so many elements from so many of them; still it is so catchy and energetic that it can only be described as his’own style.
