Performer
Tambino
Peruvian-born, NYC-based artist Tambino (Kam Tambini) takes cues from his Latin background and reinterprets them through the lens of his time in New York and DC's punk scene. The result is a fusion of cumbia percussion and Spanish lyrics with shoegaze guitars, New York hip-hop beats, and indie songwriting to form an expression of the city's multicultural musical landscape.
Tambino latest release, Sin Miedo, was featured in The New York Times, Pitchfork, NPR, and other outlets.
