Independent rock-pop artist Trincao continues to redefine music’s role as a medium for social awareness with his latest single, ‘Medellin’. Known for his global perspective and bold storytelling, Trincao transforms real-world narratives into compelling music, and ‘Medellin’ stands as his most poignant work yet.
Inspired by his travels and raw conversations with the people of Medellin, Colombia, Trincao brings an authentic and deeply moving account to life. During his visit, he conducted street interviews that garnered millions of views, capturing unfiltered stories of the city.
One encounter in particular left an indelible mark—a young woman who fled her home after witnessing the tragic deaths of her brothers, only to become trapped in a life of exploitation. ‘Medellin’ is dedicated to the countless individuals who find themselves in similar cycles of hardship, serving as both a tribute and a call to awareness.
This groundbreaking track is the first of its kind to integrate voices from Trincao’s street interviews directly into the music. Rich in strings, synths, and electrifying guitar work, ‘Medellin’ sonically mirrors the contrast of the city’s vibrant energy and the weight of its realities.
The song exudes nostalgia, evoking the essence of 80s and 90s pop while maintaining a modern edge. Trincao’s vocals glide effortlessly over the stirring instrumental, crafting a powerful and infectious anthem that resonates on a deeply emotional level.
With a career marked by innovation, Trincao has performed for audiences as large as 150,000 during his time with the musical fraternity Azeituna and has been praised by media outlets such as GQ, Forbes, Vogue, and Yahoo Finance! for his revolutionary virtual concert, which attracted over 40,000 attendees.
His music has also benefited from the expertise of legendary producer “Bassy” Bob, who has worked with icons such as Notorious B.I.G., Aretha Franklin, and Prince. Partially recorded at the historic Criteria Recording Studios, where legends like The Bee Gees, Fleetwood Mac, and Bob Marley created timeless hits, ‘Medellin’ carries a legacy of musical excellence.
Trincao is an artist like no other—fearless in his pursuit of truth, unrelenting in his artistic vision, and devoted to creating music that speaks for the unheard. With ‘Medellin’, he invites listeners to immerse themselves in the heartbeat of a city and the resilience of its people.
