Rumbo Tumba
Alone on stage, surrounded by wooden South American instruments he plays, records and loops in real time: Facundo Salgado grows a sound forest where Andean folklore meets the future
Biography
Rumbo Tumba is the electro-acoustic project of Argentine multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Facundo Salgado, launched in 2012. He is called a “craftsman of organic loops”: a one-man orchestra, he plays, records and mixes in real time handcrafted wooden instruments from South America — charango, ronroco, double bass, Andean aerophones and percussion — projecting South American folklore into the future.
For over a decade he has toured relentlessly across Latin America, Europe and Africa: more than 30 countries, five continents, and over 40 million online streams. His music has also travelled to the screen, in Apple TV's Long Way Up series (2020).
His album Cordillera Latiendo (August 1, 2025) is presented in 2026 on the Gira Mundial tour, from Montevideo to Santiago de Chile, then in North America: three US concerts lead to Montreal's Foufounes Électriques — before an already historic date: Carnegie Hall in New York, on February 13, 2027.
