San Antonio, TX: As part of Paper Tiger’s Free Week, sibling duo Montufar delivered a show-stopping performance on January 10th, headlining a showcase of San Antonio’s most exciting emerging talent. Hosted by Vinilious SATX, the event brought together a packed house of music enthusiasts eager to experience the city’s thriving music scene.
Formed in 2019 by siblings Victor and Maria Montufar, the duo has captivated fans with their unique blend of 80s-inspired sounds and contemporary alt-pop. The performance demonstrated the group’s undeniable star power as they performed fan favorites such as their debut single “Ojos” and the breakout hit “Escaparnos,” which earned them a feature on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Latin playlist.
The night’s highlight was the live debut of their latest single, “SUÉTER,” a heartfelt and anthemic track produced in collaboration with Grammy-nominated Evan Smith (Bleachers). The song showcased Montufar’s continued evolution, blending deeply personal storytelling with powerful, stadium-ready instrumentation.
Montufar’s rise has been meteoric, from sold-out performances in Mexico City to opening for Jesse & Joy in San Antonio. Their 2024 single, “Defectos,” introduced a rawer, more reflective sound, further solidifying their reputation as innovators in the Latin alternative and alt-pop scenes.
“This was an incredible night for us. Free Week is such a special event for the San Antonio music community, and we’re honored to be a part of it. Sharing our music here feels like coming home,” said Montufar.
The showcase also featured stellar performances by local talents Alex Beltran, and Mariana BE, adding depth and diversity to the evening’s lineup.
Free Week at Paper Tiger continues to be a cornerstone of San Antonio’s music scene, offering the community free access to high-quality performances from rising and established local artists. This year’s lineup has once again underscored the city’s reputation as a hub for creative talent.
Montufar is gearing up for a monumental 2025, with new music and exciting live shows on the horizon. Stay connected with Montufar on Instagram and on all streaming platforms to follow their journey.
About Montufar
Montufar was formed by siblings Victor and Maria Montufar in 2019; during the demo sessions of ‘Ojos’ in their guest restroom. In 2020 they recorded ‘Ojos’ at Chapel Studios, and then released the song in late 2021. Since then, Montufar has been gaining attention from many fans along with media outlets; comparing their sound to the 80s but still in complete tact with modern day music. In 2022 Montufar released 2 singles; ‘Escaparnos’ and ‘Acércate.’ ‘Escaparnos’ got them on their first cover of a Spotify playlist called Fresh Finds Latin. During 2023 the duo had the opportunity to perform for the first time ever to two sold out crowds; one was a headlining sold out show at a venue in Mexico City, and the second was as an opening act for Jesse & Joy in San Antonio, TX. For 2025 the siblings have new music that will expand the universe that they have created within their music.
