Trincao Samples the Streets on His Most Honest Single Yet in 'Medellin'

Some songs entertain. Others illuminate. With Medellin, independent artist Trincao reaches for something far greater—he captures the soul of a city in all its heartbreak and beauty.

Born from raw, unfiltered conversations on the streets of Medellin, Colombia, this track is a living archive of memory and pain. Trincao didn’t just visit the city—he listened. Among those voices was a young woman whose life had been torn apart by violence and entrapment, a story that now pulses at the center of the song. Her truth—and the truths of many—echo through the music, not as metaphor, but as presence. Their voices, their realities, are woven directly into the fabric of the track.

Musically, Medellin feels like nostalgia flickering through a modern lens. Lush strings swell with cinematic weight. Synths shimmer like streetlights on wet pavement. Guitars cry and crackle with urgency. It’s a sound both timeless and immediate, nodding to the grandeur of 80s and 90s pop while pushing forward with conviction. Over it all, Trincao’s voice is steady and soulful—a storyteller unafraid to feel.

This isn’t just music. It’s lived experience transformed into melody. A eulogy for forgotten names. A celebration of survival. A mirror held up to systems we too often look away from.

Behind Medellin is an artist with vision and velocity. Trincao’s career has already crossed continents—from massive stages to viral street interviews, to virtual concerts that have drawn tens of thousands. He’s worked with legendary producer “Bassy” Bob and recorded at the hallowed halls of Criteria Studios, yet his greatest power lies in his ability to humanize the global through song.

Medellin is an invitation. Step into the streets. Hear the voices. Feel the heartbeat. And maybe, for a moment, understand.
