MNTRA Instruments has launched a new MNDALA-powered virtual instrument which brings the re-amped sonic monuments from Colombia’s Caribbean coast.
El Jaguar offers a vibrant sonic journey into the heart of Barranquilla’s underground music culture.
Fusing Afro-Caribbean percussion, marimba, vintage drum machines, and modular synths—each re-amped through a towering Picó—this toolbox of sounds pulses with warmth, distortion, and movement.
Crafted in collaboration with local artists and transformed through analog processing, El Jaguar offers a versatile palette of textures designed to cut through modern Latin rhythms, hip-hop beats, and experimental electronics alike. It’s not just a sound—it’s a living spirit built to move bodies to all kinds of rhythms.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX), El Jaguar is on sale at Plugin Boutique and from MNTRA Instruments for the intro price of $79 USD until May 28th, 2025 (regular $129 USD).
El Jaguar is also part of the updated Portals Bundle, which is on offer for $249 USD instead of $376 USD.
