Tomás Doncker has been part of the national and international music scene for some time, traveling to places like China, Japan, and Ethiopia just to name a few, promoting his Global Soul message. All of this has not been a solo ride for him, for he has had a tribe of talent—past and present—by his side. Along the way, Doncker was fortunate in making the right connections and cycling back to those connections. If you ask him where home is: he most likely will say anywhere from Brooklyn to Ethiopia and everywhere in-between. I’m a citizen of the planet. In the past, he was part of the NYC bohemian scene, working shoulder-to-shoulder with James Chance (and others) and cementing the No Wave movement’s goals. Currently, he is the founder of the True Groove label which focuses on his genre inclusive movement, Global Soul. Recently, he linked up with The Orchard, which should be instrumental in propelling his efforts on a larger stage.
