Los Rolling Ruanas are a Colombian band that has emerged as a distinctive force in contemporary Latin American music. The band, formed in Bogotá, has become known for their unique blend of traditional Colombian folk styles, including carranga and Andean music, with elements of rock and pop, creating a vibrant, modern sound that retains the soul of its cultural roots. The name itself—a playful riff on the iconic British rock band The Rolling Stones and the ruanas, a traditional Andean poncho-like garment—reflects their fusion of traditional and modern influences.

Since their inception, Los Rolling Ruanas have captured audiences with their energetic performances and innovative music. Among their most recent releases is "El Rey de la Montaña," a soundtrack epitomizing their cinematic approach to storytelling through music. They've also shown depth and versatility in tracks such as "Fantasma" and "Sexo con Amor," as well as an assertive stance in activism with singles like "No Nos Vamos a Callar." With albums such as "Latinoamoricano, Vol. 1," they've continued to explore the vast landscape of Latin American rhythms and themes, all while fostering a sound distinctly their own. The band also infuses their performances with a profound sense of place and tradition, as evidenced in live recordings like "Sangre Caliente (En Vivo en Sonido 3d Binaural)." Los Rolling Ruanas have not only created a space for Colombian carranga on the global music stage but have also invigorated it with the spirit of the times, making their music both a tribute to the past and a celebration of the living, evolving culture of Colombia and Latin America.
