Sonido Pesao

Sonido Pesao is a Montreal group of original "Latin Urban / Latin Rap" music.
Their compositions mix energetically urban music, rap, cumbia and electronic music, all supported by Latin rhythms. The band, born in 2006 and previously named Heavy Soundz, now fully assumes his Hispanic identity by having translated his name to Sonido Pesao (heavy sounds).

The members of the group from Quebec and Latin America form an explosive mix: Chele (Ronald Lemus Barrientos) and Lunatico (Marco-Antonio Abal Aguilar) are the two rappers, singer, Ian Letter on drums, Javier Muñoz Maldonado on guitar and Julien Senez-Gagnon on bass and electronics.


They have participated in several major festivals such as the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Festival des Nuits d’Afrique, the Pan American Games (Toronto 2015), the Gaspé Bout du Monde Music Festival, the CAM tour (2017 -2018), etc. Winner of the Sily d'Or Contest in 2012, they also collaborated with artists such as Boogat, Tomas Jensen, Ramon Chicharron, Lengualerta (Mexico), and were invited to Belle et Bum for the third time in November 2015.

Hailed as one of the best urban-Latino albums of the year in Canada both by the press and the general public, the album was a huge success, securing gigs at numerous large scale festivals.
In 2020, they strike back with their latest album ''TODO REVUELTO'', an absolute tour de force decidedly in tune with urban and latino culture from around the globe.
