Sonido La Changa

Sonido La Changa is a sonidero from the Tepito neighborhood in Mexico City, founded by Ramón Rojo in 1968. Rojo began a vinyl record collection with material from the Sonora Matancera after his uncle bought a record store in the Historic Center of Mexico City. He started as a DJ, providing music at dances using a turntable, a Radson tube amplifier, speakers (called “trumpets” in the sound system scene), and his two-record collection, thus giving rise to the sound system, a name that gradually became associated with the DJs.
