Sonora, also known as Sonora Longoria, is a producer of Latin and third world/global bass music who resides in San Antonio, Texas. He released his debut EP, “Siempre Fresco,” in September of 2010 through the label Peligrosa, since then he has had other releases through Dutty Artz, Friends of Friends, Man Recordings, Sounds Of Sumo, and Mad Decent.

The "cumbia child" Sonora has accomplished quite a few projects with global artists, one being for his "Remezcla" EP series where he takes on remixing and recording with carioca bass diva Zuzuka Poderosa. The album recieved a great review by MTV in which they stated:

"her souped-up Brazilian chatter collides head-on with Sonora’s Latin-flavored bass. As you might imagine, sparks fly everywhere and stuff catches on fire."

"Sonora found a way of taking those songs and making them more articulate. What comes out is something like tropical disco." - MTV Iggy

Currently he is working and wrapping up new remix projects with latin vocalist/mc, Boogat, and Oakland based Panamanian duo Los Rakas, and working on his releases with the crew and label "Peligrosa" as well as his debut album being the newest signee to "Little Owl Recordings"

"Sonora is definitely the most prolific producer that this whole new electropical scene has given us." - Remezcla Musica

SONORA, un grupo formado por las ganas de hacer metal, han sacado su primer CD este año 2007. Kosta y Grass (guitarra y batería de Boikot) parece que no...

Kosta y Grass (guitarra y batería de Boikot) parece que no tenían suficiente y necesitaban sacar su vena más metalera, junto a Lou como vocalista, Álvaro al bajo (ex bajista de Dover) y dando su toque especial, Julián (dj jabbar), a los platos, que le da un ambiente electrónico, fusionando scratchs y secuencias de loop, bien compensado con las guitarras, y ritmos de la batería.La voz expresa rabia, es muy enérgica y sabe saltar perfectamente de los graves a los agudos sin ningún tipo de esfuerzo.

Los riffs utilizados son bastante potentes, a un compás de batería muy veloz en la
mayoría de tiempos. El bajo forma un segundo plano, ya que apenas se hace notar en todo el disco.Empiezan con ''Al otro lado'' que, musicalmente, recuerda al grupo estadounidense Linkin Park. “Lenguas de rata” es más hardcore, se parece mucho a Soziedad Alkoholika, incluso el cantante que acompaña a Lou en esta canción se asemeja mucho a la voz de S.A.El siguiente tema “No hay color”, suena a una versión de los Grass, grupo que tenían anteriormente Kosta y Grass.“Joven flor”, empieza a ritmo de drum’n’bass mezclado con scratchs, y va enlazando el guitarreo con ese ritmo. Para acabar, destaca la última canción, adaptación cañera de “Stayin’ alive” de los Bee Gees, muy bien versionada.Un disco muy elaborado.
