Montañera is the solo project of Bogotá-born, London-based singer-songwriter María Mónica Gutiérrez, who has been crafting her own sound since 2017 at the intersection of Colombian folk traditions, ambient electronics and experimental pop. The project name - a term from her family's Paisa region that once carried a derogatory edge - she has reclaimed as a badge of pride. Her third album A Flor de Piel (2023, Western Vinyl) drew critical praise from Pitchfork (8.0), The Guardian and Iggy Pop on BBC Radio, and her music has featured in Netflix series including Wild District and La Venganza de las Juanas. She also performs with the bands Suricato and Ságan.
Montañera performed as a special guest at La Línea Festival 2025 in London together with Juana Aguirre.
Montañera was on the program for SXSW London 2025, where she presented her catalog to a new European audience.
Montañera performed at V&A East in London in September 2024.
A Flor de Piel was released on November 17, 2023 via Western Vinyl and received a review of 8.0 from Pitchfork as well as praise from The Guardian and Iggy Pop on BBC Radio.
WNYC highlighted the single "Santa Mar" from A Flor de Piel in their Weekly Music Roundup in November 2023.
