Sonido Pesao is an authentic group of «Latin Urban/ Latin Rap» of Montreal origin.

Their compositions energetically mix urban music, rap, cumbia and electronic elements, all supported by current Latin rhythms in tune with the new Latin American cultures.

The group, born in 2006 formerly known as Heavy Soundz, now fully assumes its Hispanic identity and affirms it by translating “Heavy Soundz” into Sonido Pesao.

Sonido Pesao is a group composed of artists of various and multiple origins. The band includes two vocal leaders, Chele (Ronald Lemus Barrientos) and Lunatico (Marco-Antonio Abal Aguilar) rappers/singers, Ian Letter the drummer, Vier Muñoz Maldonado on guitar and Julien Senez-Gagnon on bass and electronics. They form an explosive Quebec-Latin American mixture that is both wild and colourful.

Sonido Pesao is a pure Montreal product, resulting from a mix of authentic cultures «Latin Urban/ Latin Rap».

Their compositions energetically mix urban music, rap, cumbia and electronic elements, all supported by Latin rhythms in tune with modern Latin American cultures.

Since the release of their album «Tumba Parlantes» in 2011, (at the time still under the name of Heavy Soundz), they have travelled across Quebec and Canada from coast to coast, spreading their love of cultures and their contagious joie de vivre.

They make appearances on several television programs as well as in the programming of the largest local and national festivals such as the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Festival des Nuits d'Afrique, the Pan American Games in Toronto, the Gaspé Bout du Monde Music Festival, or the CAM tour.

In 2012, Sonido Pesao won first place in the Sily d'Or competition and they continue their appearances with 3 television performances on the show Belle and Bum.

The winners of the 2016-2017 Montreal Arts Council Diversity Award, their song «Sonido Pesao», has appeared 9 times in the TV show hosted by Guy A. Lepage, «Tout le Monde en Parle».

Real phenomenon when they perform, these beasts of the stage came back on May 5, 2016 with their album "Reir Para No Llorar" (better laugh than cry).

Acclaimed as one of Canada’s best Latino-Urban albums of the year by both the press and the general public, the album was a huge success to the point that it earned them a nomination for the Canadian Latin Awards in the “Urban of the Year” category.

In 2020, they retaliated with their latest album "TODO REVUELTO '', a musical tour-de-force resolutely in tune with the urban and Latino culture of the world.

The album features a blend of cumbia nueva, reggaeton, hip-hop and electronic music with a touch of ‘old school’ that offers a unique and contagious blend of influences.

Featuring many artists from different scenes and backgrounds such as Boogat, KNLO, Rebecca Lane, Madhi, Baby K and more.TODO REVUELTO is a colourful mosaic of music that is both rooted in the love and heritage of Spanish-speaking culture while remaining avant-garde and eccentric.

The album earned them two Canadian Latin Awards nominations for album of the year and urban song of the year.

In 2021, the group continued to perform on several prestigious stages in Quebec, such as the Nuits d'Afrique, they also performed at the Cité concert in Sherbrooke, the Pasa X twice, the Norté Festival and more recently at the end of the year, the Indie Montreal show.
