Episode 402: 56. Terror/Cactus

 My guest on today’s show is Martin Selasco, the man behind Terror/Cactus, an electro-cumbia fusion project based in Cashmere, WA. Martin tells me about his early exposure to south american music, giving credit to his father who was in the music business when he was a child living in Miami, where he taught himself to make multitrack recordings as a preteen. We also discuss his move to Seattle and the challenges of bringing his music rooted in tradition to a predominantly white indie rock audience, the responsibility to preserve and evolve Columbian culture, why he doesn’t sing, and his new collaborations with folks who do. I spoke on the phone with Martin Selasco from his farm in Cashmere.
