More a project than a traditional band, Sistema Bomb was formed by Bay Area-based producer Héctor Pérez in an effort to modernize the regional Mexican music dubbed Son Jarocho. After being introduced to the style by the <a href="spotify:artist:6OWapcJm9xd55ci9CYbAuT">Los Lobos</a> song "La Guacamaya," Pérez imagined incorporating hip-hop sounds and styles into the music, along with the punk and rock elements that acts like <a href="spotify:artist:1An0HCtDktvCBDdFEu7HC0">Ozomatli</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1jKpNUjiz4KXgaAZD5FI9S">Zack de la Rocha</a> had previously injected into the genre. While working with the group <a href="spotify:artist:6SFpEAywC3u4kjE00wHMoO">Los Cojolites</a> on their album Sembrando Flores, he met producer and label owner <a href="spotify:artist:2AtGMH6qu6zP2chN7xaKS7">Greg Landau</a>, who officially co-founded Sistema Bomb in 2011. Recording sessions with members of <a href="spotify:artist:6SFpEAywC3u4kjE00wHMoO">Los Cojolites</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1An0HCtDktvCBDdFEu7HC0">Ozomatli</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6WvDtNFHOWHfiNy8NVHujT">Maldita Vecindad</a> followed, and then in April of 2012, <a href="spotify:artist:2AtGMH6qu6zP2chN7xaKS7">Landau</a>'s label <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Round+Whirled%22">Round Whirled</a> issued Electro-Jarocho, the project's debut. The album was nominated for a 2013 Grammy under the category of Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
