Great bands but terrible Sound System
by Luhachi on 11/14/23Spotlight 29 Casino - CoachellaThe place was ok. The Sonoras did their best . The only complaint is the Sound system of that venue. Need improvement.

About
La Sonora Dinamita In Concert
Internationally renowned cumbia legends La Sonora Dinamita (The Dynamite Sound) returned to their roots in 2016 with ‘Junto por la Sonora' (Together for the Sound). The album nodded to the Colombian band's origins by featuring vocalist Daniela ArgaÃn, daughter of founding bandleader Lucho ArgaÃn, and renewed La Sonora's long history with Mexico by featuring nearly two dozen guest artists from that country.
La Sonora Dinamita's long cumbia journey began in Cartagena in 1960, when the Discos Fuentes label launched the música tropical institution under ArgaÃn's direction. When the group's blend of salsa and cumbia failed to take off, it was reformed in 1975 under the leadership of Discos Fuentes artistic director Julio Ernesto Estrada "Fruko" Rincón.?
Fruko quickened the beat and finessed Sonora's walking bass lines, sparkling electric piano, and unison horn parts into a matchless hit machine. The reborn group recorded its first album, ‘La Fulminante' (Devastation) in Mexico, and its success launched a wave of cumbia madness across Latin America.
Fruko's cumbia innovation continued in 1981 with the addition of Mélida Yará Yanguma — aka La India Meliyará — to La Sonora's lineup. She was the first of many female performers — including Lucha López, Vilma DÃaz, and cumbia "goddess" Margarita Vargas — who were nurtured by the ensemble and who later enjoyed brilliant solo careers.?
La Sonora cemented its reputation throughout the '80s and '90s with hits that included "Amor de Mis Amores" (Love of My Loves), "Escándola" (Scandal), "A Mover la Colita" (Move Your Ass), and "Mi Cucu," a million-selling remake of Sidney Simien's crossover zydeco smash, "My Toot Toot." Albums like ‘éxitos Tropicosos' (Tropical Hits) and ‘32 Ca?onazos' (32 Greatest Hits) collected the best of their cumbia.
In 2016, the estate of La Sonora Dinamita founder Luis Guillermo Pérez Cedrón legally reestablished his ownership despite counterfeit combos exploiting the group's name. Anyone needing proof of La Sonora's authenticity today, however, need look no further than ‘Juntos por la Sonora,' a 22-track collection of La Sonora hits and traditional cumbias accompanied by as many stars of Mexican music. Some of these — including Dr. Shenka, Pablo Montero, Coque Mu?iz, and Mariana Seoane — also have been joining La Sonora Dinamita onstage.

by CINTHIA ?? on 5/10/23Rialto Theatre-Tucson - TucsonOne bad thing is that every venue isnt big enough for this amazing band. Honestly 100/10.
Rating: 5 out of 5 It was outstanding
by Mary on 7/13/22The Observatory North Park - San DiegoWe have a great night dancing with this colombian band
Rating: 3 out of 5 The concert was great
by Fm on 7/12/22The Observatory North Park - San DiegoThe concert vibe was great and good crowd. The only negative was the venue in todays COVID times there should have been much better ventilation of the venue. It was hot and very crowded if the venue’s ventilation is bad there should have had much less people present.
Rating: 5 out of 5 So fun! So nostaligic!
by Iris on 7/12/22The Observatory North Park - San DiegoI had a blast at the Sonora Dinamita concert! Great cumbia performance and the best hits! I danced the whole time! The opening band, Las Chikas, who performed salsa music hits were fantastic, too!
Rating: 4 out of 5 Fun times!
by NatKat on 7/12/22The Observatory North Park - San DiegoSeeing The Sonora Dinamita at the Observatory was a lot of fun! The crowd was very I to the music and everyone was having a good time. I liked how there was convenient parking literally across the street in a parking structure and it was included in my ticket admission. The only negative is that the venue itself inside was so hot, there was no AC in there so it did make the experience a bit uncomfortable.
