Østerport Records, København

A red S-train with grey doors pulls into Østerport station at night, past the half-timbered 1897 station building, waits with Albotoro, Santafemme and Rå Ynde lettered on three coaches, and leaves to the left. Then a grey regional train with red doors comes in from the left, stops and leaves to the right.

    ABOUT

    Østerport Records

    Østerport Records is Francisco M. Tortora’s label. He was born and raised in Buenos Aires, moved to Barcelona in 2015 and to Copenhagen in 2024, and has been writing and producing music since 2004.

    For years everything came out under one name, Toro Blanco. Spanish pop, instrumental electronics and English rock shared one profile. Now the music lives under three names, Albotoro, Santafemme and Rå Ynde, and the label holds them together. Toro Blanco is still the thread between them.

    Along the way: Chulo Hamlin with Guido Aimar (one album, 2004, and productions for TV, theatre, advertising and short films), the acoustic band Don Niño with Agustín Cavallo, Alec Gordon and Robertino Villamil (the live album Vivo en Absurdo, 2010), the Toro Blanco album, co-produced with Pablo Berardi, and Nicolás Carou’s first EP, El dilema del erizo. In Barcelona he co-founded RoomTo Studios with Óscar García-Bragado and worked with Martin Roma, Strange Frequency, Lemozine, Gayoncé Rose and The Spike Heel Sex Sound, among others. Just before Copenhagen he worked on Payfone’s album Lunch, and at the same time released his book and app, GuitarMap.
