Sonido Santana is, along with Pancho and Sonoramico, among the most notorious (the biggest?) sonideros (sound system) of Mexico D.F. This 70 tracks compilation by Shark DJ is a showcase of recent titles (NB: even if the title advertises 2014, many tracks apparently date from 2012) in cumbia, including many covers of traditional cumbia standards. […]
Sonido Sonoramico is one of the most influential Sonideros (sound systems) of Mexico D.F. He also owns an amazing record shop cerca the center of the city. (aww these vinyls!!) This fantastic compilation (80 tracks) by Heken Productions is an amazing collection of antique cumbia classics, apparently from all over the Latin American continent. Some […]
Sonido Pancho is one of the most important and most influential sonideros (sound systems) from Mexico City. Lately playing apparently mostly salsa, its “baile sonideros” are social events where families and amazingly talented dancers from “club de baile” meet and party. This fantastic and very diverse compilation (131 tracks!) by Heken DJ, filled with oldschool […]
Classical cumbia (peñonera?) track “Arrepentido” from the (excellent, upcoming on datalove.net) compilation “Las Clasicas de Sonido Pancho” from Mexico. Sunny and beautiful.
Cumbia Peñonera comes from Peñòn de los Baños, close from the main airport of Mexico, which is apparently, along with Tepito, the second birthplace of cumbia sonidera. Although the two places are relatively close, Cumbia Peñonera sounds quite differently from the rest: More cheerful tracks, sounding more like the costal cumbia from Colombia, with much […]
100% CDR, 100% Cumbia, 100% Tepito. If Hector Campos claims he is the King of records in Tepito (“El Rey de los discos en Tepito”) there might be a reason. As Tepito is one of the birthplaces of Cumbia Sonidera, being king of such a rich (and somewhat chaotic) kingdom must not be an easy […]

100% CDR, 100% romantic, 100% Salsa! Lobo DJ strikes again! Excellent and mucho caliente compilation (72 tracks)! Salsa, originating from New York City in the 70s by Cuban and Porto-Rican immigrants, is apparently currently booming all around Latin America.

100% CDR, 100% mp3, 100% Sonidero! Guaracha is a cuban rythm influential of Salsa. It is used by Mexican Sonidero DJs with various speeds (lots of debajadas, slowed down tracks) and tweeking as part of the Cumbia Sonidera. It is gorgeously charming and warm! <3 An excellent compilation (71 tracks) by Lobo DJ! (apparently another […]
100% CDR, 100% Sonidero, 100% mp3. Another compilation by DJ Shark, apparently representative of the sound of Mexican Sonideros. A great mix of Cumbia indeed, but also lots of Salsa (extremely popular in Latin America these days…), some Cumbias rebajadas (lowered = low speed cumbia, kind of dub) y mas! Bears logos of many famous […]
