Natural in conception yet powerful in execution, the new release is out now via Virgin Records and Tomorrowland Music.
French duo Faul & Wad join forces with Spanish innovators MËSTIZA and Latin Grammy-nominee Martina Camargo for ‘Tambora’, a vibrant Latin House record. Set for a joint release on Virgin Records and Tomorrowland Music, the single leans on Spanish guitar and shuffling drums to capture the magic of summer in a bottle. The heat is on, as “Tambora” is officially out now on streaming services everywhere.
‘Tambora’ drives forward with a purring bassline and percussion that brims with rhythmic variety and rich textures, steering clear of tech-house’s overused formulas. Martina Camargo’s vocals shine with precision and soul, carrying the weight of her Afro-Colombian heritage straight into the club. The result is a crisp, finely tuned collaboration where every detail breathes, giving dancers the complete space to enjoy.
The song ‘Tambora’ uses the metaphor of a drumbeat to express both the emotional struggles of life and the ancestral tradition of Tambora, which originate from the Afro-Colombian Caribbean.
More than just a drum, ‘Tambora’ music represents the weight of identity, resistance, and ancestral memory for rural communities. This song demonstrates how music can heal us, help us reconnect, and allow us to fall in love with life once again.
For Faul & Wad, ‘Tambora’ continues a creative run that stretches from the global breakthrough of ‘Changes’ to recent heavy-hitters like ‘Sauti’ and their 2025 LP Therapy. MËSTIZA bring the flamenco firepower to the release, sharpened in their revered live sets and recent tracks like ‘El Homenaje’ and ‘Rintintin’.
This track is deeply rooted in the Tambora tradition that Martina Camargo has represented internationally for decades. While her artistry has gained her recognitions like the Latin Grammy nomination, her commitment to the ecological defense of life continues to inspire global audiences.
