Artcraft tequila tasting by Tromba®
We embarked on a journey with Marco Cedano, Tequila Tromba founder and Master Distiller.
Who makes your Tequila?
KAN made a collaboration with Tequila Tromba, a premium crafted tequila by Master Distiller Marco Cedano, the pioneer of 100% agave tequila in Mexico and the world. A 40 year veteran, a master craftsman, a tequila icon.
With the support of 3 passionate tequila lovers and his son Rodrigo by his side, Master and Apprentice continue the family legacy, connecting people to the highlands of Jalisco and the incredible story of agave.
Tromba
As Master Distiller for some of the most established luxury brands, Marco created the first batch of premium 100% agave in 1988, starting the revolution which became the premiumization of Tequila.
Cultivating a team of expert agave growers, jimadores, glass blowers and builders, the Tromba name is established in authentic old world tradition, with new world boldness and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Uniquely Distiller-owned, we are the makers, the doers and the mavericks who strive to take life by storm.
Tromba gets its name from the intense rainstorms of the Jalisco highlands that nourish its famed agave plants.
Marco Cedano, Tromba founder and Master Distiller took the tequila world by storm when he embarked on a journey to change the way the world sees tequila. Named for the intense rainstorms that rejuvenate the rugged highlands of Jalisco, Tromba captures the essence of his journey - to make a storm, create change.
'Tromba' also represents an energy and rejuvenation that fuels the passion and purpose of its founders
Together with son Rodrigo the two are leading a new revolution in tequila; one that respects old world knowledge and experience, while embracing what’s possible today.

Re:Tzompantli
The Re:Tzompantli is an art installation made with trash picked up from Tulum jungle.
In the Mesoamerican cosmogony, ”humans existed to worship and feed the gods with offerings; it was a condition for life to continue.”
The practice of displaying heads and skulls on ceremonial structures spread towards the second millennium of our era. It represents a turn in Mesoamerican rituality of human sacrifices.
Rituals
Smoke screens, noise and uproar would surround the consecration of triumphs and pacts between the worshipful terrestrial and cosmic alliances.
Tzompantli:
It is named after the Nahua words “tzontli” which means head or skull and from “pantli” which means row. So “tzompantli” means “Row of skulls”. It is believed that, some governments abused sacrificial ceremonies to turn them into intimidating displays of power to their enemies.
Recent studies of skulls pierced vertically at Chichén Itzá address the processing of the human heads of the sacrificed and their public display in the post-Mayan period
The installation features 60 skulls made with handpicked garbage from the Mayan jungle.
The Re:Tzompantli was created with the purpose to make a visual impact and raise awareness of the use of plastics and disposable single-use objects, as well as the collection and proper separation of garbage from our everyday activities. Most of these materials will take hundreds if not thousands of years to decompose and get back to the cycles of matter.

Kan on “Assemblage Views”
We sat with Assemblage Views to discuss the philosophy behind KAN.
Dispatch From Riviera Maya: Sam Gordon, partner of KAN Tulum
We sat down with Assemblage Views Blog to discuss the philosophy behind KAN Tulum and what those philosophies mean in practice.
“…At times, KAN Tulum’s approach to sustainability involves advanced technologies and at others embraces low-tech ways of living. For Sam, treating the land right can be as simple (and yet as large a feat) as ensuring that the trees that were there for hundreds of years remain after construction or as straightforward as offering living wages to the local talent pool that drive the business.”
