about
Sonido Dueñez is a legendary cumbia DJ and sound system operator from Colonia Independencia, Monterrey, MX. He is most known for his edits and rare tape series of cumbias "rebajadas" (slowed-down tracks), which have gone to influence producers, DJs and musicians and cumbia movements around the world. Sonido Dueñez was playing Cumbia one night in the early 1990’s when disaster struck: his turntable's motor overheated and slowed down, turning the music into a warped groan with half-speed voices echoing over wobbly accordion and splashy guacharaca rhythms. Unexpectedly, the crowd kept dancing, and Dueñez realised he'd struck gold - Cumbia Rebajadas was born.
