Montañosa

**Montañosa** is a Bogotá-based Colombian band blending indie rock with traditional Andean folk influences, creating a sound that’s both earthy and atmospheric. Formed around 2016, the group—led by Juan Pablo Tovar (vocals/guitar), Juan Sebastián Piñeros (bass), and Daniel Rodríguez (drums)—incorporates instruments like the charango, quena, and bombo legüero into their music, giving it a textured, rootsy vibe. Their 2020 album *Mar* showcases their knack for weaving introspective lyrics about nature, identity, and displacement into lush, rhythmic arrangements. Known for dynamic live performances, they’ve become festival favorites in Colombia, gracing stages like Rock al Parque and Estéreo Picnic. Montañosa’s work feels like a bridge between ancestral traditions and modern indie experimentation.
