SONORA is a rock band from Punto Fijo city, Falcon state - Venezuela, formed in 2013. The group currently comprises Daniel Urbina (lead vocals, acoustic/electric guitar), César Monfrino (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Orlando Dávila (drums). Their music combines well known old school genres, such as: classic rock, hard rock and rock and roll. 

They are known for winning Viva Rock Latino Caracas Fest in 2015, which is organized by the prestigious firm Hard Rock Cafe in Latin America. It was the first Venezuelan band to reach the international final which takes place every year. In December 2015, they held the premiere of the Christmas cover "Jingle Bell Rock", which had excellent spread in different national broadcasters. This year,  they were selected to participate in a contest nationwide, along with four other bands. Winning band should be presented at recognized Sibelius Fest 2016, held every year in Caracas city. This time, SONORA failed to win the jackpot, however, allowed them presenting throughout the national territory, their first single (official video included) "Si tú quieres, quiero"; from their first album "Fiesta De Rock". As expected, SONORA began climbing steps in the national art world, assuring them a stake in the Kultura Rock program, broadcast by TVES channel and led by renowned singer and presenter Paul Gillman. Last July, this talented band participated in the VI Battle Rock Bands 2016 in El Vigía – Merida city, winning first place in this edition.

In September 2016, SONORA released their debut album with the collaboration of several venezuelan artists. This musical material consists of eight previously unreleased tracks. Composition, production and recording was conducted by Daniel Urbina, lead singer and guitarist of the band, at Uni Record Studios facilities. On the other hand, Paul Jatem from Silver Avenue Records, was in charge of mixing the album and Marcel Fernandez from Cavigold Studio, Los Angeles – USA, was responsible for mastering. It is noteworthy that Marcel has had the privilege of working with various world-renowned artists such as: Foo Figthers, ZZ Top, Quiet Riot, Hollywood Vampires, AFI, Deftones, Slipknot, RX Bandits, Zeta among others. Finally, the art was designed by Rafael Mattey and the official logo of the band was designed by Moisés Vera.
