VIDA emerged during CISUMMI'S inaugural journey to Colombia and Latin America. Immersed in the vibrant rhythms and sounds of the region, he was inspired to channel his experiences into music. Upon his return, he meticulously translated his inspirations into reality, blending the traditional tumbao piano and Latin percussion with contemporary electronic grooves. To elevate the composition, he enlisted the help of his friend Oskar, who added rich trumpet melodies. The objective was simple: to transport listeners to the heart of Cuba or any other Latin American country, allowing them to close their eyes and immerse themselves in the essence of the culture. The culmination of these efforts yielded VIDA.

@SparrowandBarbossa's mission has always been clear: Mixing as many cultures as they can through the vehicle of Electronic Music; Creating a perfectly balanced audience between both worlds; and uniting those worlds on the dance-floors.
Tortuga was born from the numerous occasions Sparrow & Barbossa have performed in the Caribbeans. They discovered an uprising genre they like to call Caribbean House and tremendous new talents. The same way they did it with African Music, they mix the perfect doses of new-age Latin music, house music, and tribal grooves. This is Caribbean House. The idea of Tortuga goes way beyond a record label. It is a family, a community, a platform aiming to give a voice to those uprising talents and show them to the entire world with one target in mind: democratise the genre and its talents.
