Sour Magic Honors Their Latin Roots with Psychedelic Cumbia Fusion ‘En Camino (On My Way)’

Denver psych-rock explorers Sour Magic return with ‘En Camino (On My Way)’, a vibrant, genre-blending single that fuses Latin rhythms, soaring trumpet, dreamy psychedelia, and personal history. This single release coincides with their concept album The Hive (both out June 13th, 2025), “En Camino” showcases the band’s multicultural influences and their boldest sonic direction yet — an Afro-Caribbean-tinged cumbia groove wrapped in swirling synths, sultry guitar lines, and a trumpet line that stops crowds in their tracks.



Driven by the Latinx heritage of members Mauro Hernandez and Eliseo Salinas, “En Camino” is both personal and political, tracing a migration journey filled with hope, hardship, and the magnetic pull of home. The song unfolds like a cinematic trip — textured with tropical percussion, hypnotic bass, and nostalgic melodies that echo the tension between roots and forward momentum. The track was produced and mixed by Taylor Hahn (Hahn Audio), preserving the band’s warm analog spirit while opening up a lush, percussive new world of sound.

Released on June 13th, The Hive uses bee society as a metaphor for human structures — each track told through the eyes of workers, drones, and queens. “En Camino”, the final track on the album, represents an uncertain yet hopeful future for a collapsed colony. En Camino pairs cultural storytelling with a danceable fusion that bridges psych-rock, cumbia, and indie soul.

Since forming in 2021, Sour Magic has carved out a unique niche in Colorado’s indie scene. Their debut album Forbidden Fruit (2023) earned local acclaim, and recent singles like “Chocolate & Shrooms” and “Silver Sands" have expanded their reach with genre-blurring grooves and dreamy storytelling.
