Hailing from the legendary musical family behind Los Tigres Del Norte, it’s no surprise brothers
Mexia,Raul and Giovanni Hernández would have an affinity for music. Following in the footsteps
of their father Hernán Hernández, the Hernández brothers combined their musical talents to
produce music with a message. Their first single "Todos Somos Arizona" garnered them national
attention, as the song brought light to the racial injustices faced by immigrants in Arizona with the
passing of the SB1070 law in 2010.
Soon after their viral hit, the Hernández brothers began performing in venues across their
hometown of San Jose, CA, and this is where they met close friends, Matt Gonzales, and
Eduardo Montelongo. With the help of Gonzales and Montelongo, the Hernandez brothers sought
to create a new sound that demystified Latino music and united cultures. This is where Suenatron
was born. Inspired by the Bay Area sounds of groups such as Santana, Tower of Power, War,
Los Tigres del Norte, and Los Humildes, they began mixing the musical sounds they heard
growing up with rap and electronic music. They dubbed this sound “Popteño” (a combination of
Pop and Norteño).
Their sound is a direct result of their Mexican-American upbringing, in which households are
accustomed to listening to an array of traditional Mexican music while simultaneously playing
mainstream American music. Since the creation of their Popteño sound, Suenatron's sounds
have only evolved by mixing more upbeat songs and rhythms. They dubbed this new sound,
"Musica de Fusion" or Fusion Music, in listening to their unique sounds you should expect to hear
a mix of pop, cumbia, norteño, rap, and some surprises.
As the sons of immigrant parents, Suenatron's mission is to create a genre of music that speaks
to an often ignored audience, second-generation Americanos. By breaking away from the
traditional by bringing in new flavors and sounds Suenatron expects to target a market
demographic of Latinos and other viewers that understand the nuances of being brought up in
dual cultures.
In their six years together, Suenatron has already made a name for themselves, their first single
"Sincellamente" charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and their second single "Caramelo" dominated
radio airwaves. They have toured all over the United States and Mexico, opening up for acts such
as Banda La Arrolladora, Los Tucanes de Tijuana, Los Temerarios, and Julieta Venegas.
Being able to play for different audiences is a clear indicator that their sound transcends
generations. Suenatron is a musical group creating a legacy all their own. In this years to come,
this innovative group will be known for paving the way for new Latino sounds to emerge.
SuenaTron is planning to drop their first studio album in 2019 via ONE RPM MUSIC. In the
meantime, you can download their latest single “Para Siempre.” Listen to their other songs on
YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music, or catch them on tour.
