Rocktambulos is a digital platform dedicated to music, with a specialized focus on the rock and metal genres. Its proposal transcends the informative and the interpretive, combining critical analysis and recommendations to offer an educational space that promotes knowledge and appreciation of these musical expressions. Since its inception, Rocktambulos has sought to overthrow prejudices about rock and metal through professional, verified and high-quality content, driven by the passion of its team. The project was born as a radio program created by Frank Hernández in August 2010, broadcast from Caracas, Venezuela, through the radio station TWITRADIO C.A. until 2014. Later, the program expanded to La Mega Estación 99.5 FM, where it was broadcast every Saturday until December of that same year. At the same time, in June 2011, Rocktambulos evolved towards the digital format with a website dedicated to news, reviews and music criticism, consolidating its commitment to the cultural dissemination of rock. In 2015, with its main headquarters established in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Rocktambulos began a process of internationalization, adapting its content to the Argentine public without leaving aside audiences in countries such as Venezuela, Colombia and Chile. Since its relaunch in June 2015, the platform continues to expand its global reach from South America. With more than a decade of experience, Rocktambulos stands out for its ability to connect passionate audiences with the universe of rock and metal, strengthening musical culture through its content.
