For Immediate Release
(San Francisco, CA) – Rumbo Tumba, the acclaimed project of multi-instrumentalist and craftsman of organic loops Facundo Salgado, has released his highly anticipated new conceptual album, “Cordillera Latiendo”. This release is more than just an album; it’s an immersive, multifaceted work that includes a homonymous short film, inviting audiences on a journey through both the majestic Argentine Patagonia and the profound paths of self-discovery.
“Cordillera Latiendo” is an ode to the imposing beauty of The Andes, an ambitious attempt to capture their essence and translate it through evocative melodies and sounds. On this album, Rumbo Tumba’s relationship with Argentine and South American folklore deepens significantly, rooting itself even more firmly in the region’s traditional music, while retaining the subtle hints of experimentation and psychedelia that characterize the project. The album, conceived as a sonic journey following an arrow across South America, presents each song as a new natural setting and a personal introspection, weaving elements of magical realism into its narrative.

Since March, Rumbo Tumba has been unveiling previews of this major release, with monthly publications culminating in a total of seven captivating tracks. We’ve already enjoyed “La Flecha”, the first single released, featuring the special participation of Santiago Andersen (El Plan de la Mariposa). More recently, “El Llamado de la Montaña” was released, including a collaboration with the renowned group TOCH. Additionally, the album features the participation of Delia Montaña on the song “Canto Ruego”, who not only contributed her voice but was also the talented artist behind the illustrations for each song and their covers, visually enriching this work.
This album launch arrives amidst an ambitious world tour marking an unprecedented milestone in Rumbo Tumba’s career. For the first time, the project will bring its musical and visual proposal to
stages in Southeast Asia, Oceania, and North America, adding to its already established markets in Latin America and Europe. This tour has already begun and is expected to continue expanding with new dates to be confirmed, bringing Facundo Salgado’s unique vision and his deep connection with nature and the music of South America to audiences worldwide.
