RUMBO TUMA

The Craftsman of Organic Loops

Rumbo Tumba is the electro-acoustic music project by Argentine multi-instrumentalist Facundo Salgado, who has toured Europe and Latin America incessantly over the past 10 years to over 25 different countries.

A craftsman of organic loops, Salgado is a one man orchestra; playing, recording and mixing an array of exclusively artesanal wooden instruments native to South America in real time. Rumbo Tumba’s live sets feature his impressive all wooden solo ensemble which constructs a unique natural sound and atmosphere that takes audiences from all over the world on a journey to the purest places in nature. The loop-based compositions highlight the refined beauty of traditional folk roots and delicately uses cutting edge digital tools to project South American folklore into the future.

"He was born and raised in Campana listening to punk music, but he has just released a record of acoustic folklore and electronic notes inspired by the beauty of the Paraná River.”
