Sonido La Changa is a renowned sound system in Mexico City that has left an indelible mark on cumbia and salsa music. His ability to mix these genres masterfully inspired many other sound systems to imitate his style.
One of the stories intertwined with Sonido La Changa is that of Los Ángeles Azules, whom affectionately call "godchildren." This group was consolidated in the streets and neighborhoods before reaching worldwide fame, with the song "Entrega de amor" taking them to different corners, from Chicago and New York to Argentina.
In the late 1960s, the family of Los Ángeles Azules acquired a record store on Argentina Street, where Ramón, one of the members, had the idea to set up a turntable outside and play the records they sold, especially from Sonora Matancera. This is how their success began to take shape.
Los Ángeles Azules quickly became one of the most successful cumbia groups in history. Songs like "Ay amor" and "La Cumbia del Infinito" became anthems recognized by every Mexican fan of this musical genre.
On the other hand, in Iztapalapa, the Mejía brothers formed a versatile group that played various musical styles. Their popularity was fueled by the sound systems, which contributed to their music resonating in every corner, including the recent collaboration with Thalía on the song "Yo me lo busqué."
Sonido La Changa, identified with Ramón Rojo, is a revered institution in the sound system realm. His career and legacy endure thanks to his passion for tropical music. Over the years, Los Ángeles Azules have known how to evolve, incorporating new influences and rhythms, allowing them to internationalize successfully.
The 1980s marked a milestone in the musical career of Los Ángeles Azules when they decided to focus on cumbia, greatly influenced by the sound systems. Since then, their music has resonated strongly in every place they visit, managing to fill large venues and placing their hits on the most prominent charts.
