TUKAMINA is a Neo-Latin band creating original music shaped by movement between cultures. Founded by Colombian composer Andrés Francisco Rosales and Ecuadorian singer and Javier Agustín León, the ensemble brings Latin American rhythmic traditions into dialogue with jazz harmony, improvisation and European melodic influences.

Rosales approaches composition and arrangement with the mindset of writing for a symphonic orchestra, giving each instrument its own role within the ensemble.

TUKAMINA connects with the audience in many ways: from the intimacy of songs that invite listeners to immerse themselves in the lyrics and orchestration, to the power of energetic, rhythmic music that leads to movement and dance.
