Sonorama is a Chicago-based DJ collective that is known for energizing dance floors and sound waves with a unique blend of vintage Latin sounds. Founded in 2010 by Charly Garcia and brothers Edgar and Marlowe Baca, Sonorama is a group of insatiable diggers and lovers of music on vinyl. In early 2015 the trio launched the debut of Sonorama Discos, marking their interest in seeking and releasing contemporary bands and music with similar leanings to Latin America’s sonic past and an ear for fresh approaches to that tradition. When the guys aren’t busy DJing an event, you can catch their selections via podcasts, the occasional playlist or you might just run into them at your local record store.
Somos! dj’s, amantes del vinilo, estudiantes de por vida de la buena musica, hijos del tambor y el ritmo en todas sus expresiones, somos collecionistas con el deseo de exponer a otros oidos a las delicias sonicas que por alguna razon o otra han sido olvidas o que no se han dado el reconocimiento debido. Somos anthropologos musicales interesados en conocer y explorar las raizes de la musica contemporanea y reconozer el lugar de la trayectoria enorme de la musica por todo el mundo.
