Surfistas del Sistema is the musical project led by Argentine artist Francisco Frione, known for crafting immersive, emotional soundscapes that blend indie rock, dream pop, and Latin psychedelia. Rooted in poetry and powered by atmospheric textures, the project has become a cult favorite in the Latin alternative scene.

With over 100 released songs, Surfistas del Sistema has amassed more than 76 million streams on digital platforms and continues to grow. On Spotify, the project reaches over 455,000 monthly listeners, while on YouTube, the official artist channel has surpassed 87 million total views, over 5.9 million watch hours, and has built a community of more than 163,000 subscribers.

Their breakout album Modo Despegar was named Album of the Year by Rolling Stone and earned the band recognition as Best New Artist by Apple Music in 2016.

The band has performed on some of the most iconic stages in Latin America, including Lunario del Auditorio Nacional, Auditorio BB, and Teatro Metropólitan in Mexico City. In 2024–2025, they made their U.S. debut with shows in San Diego, Los Angeles, and New York City (SOB’s), receiving an enthusiastic response from new audiences.

Surfistas del Sistema has also played major festivals like Vive Latino and received a nomination at the Premios Carlos Gardel, Argentina’s most prestigious music award.

Now based between Buenos Aires and Mexico City, Francisco continues to expand Surfistas del Sistema — crafting music that feels both intimate and cosmic. In 2025, the project embarks on its first full U.S. tour, bringing its hypnotic and emotional live show to new cities across the country.
