The pioneering Latin band of the 90's
Introducing the original big band from OZ. Formed in the mid 1980's, Sonora Galaxia pioneered the way for many in the Aussie Latin dance scene. They become one of the most popular Latin bands of its time, making them a real favourite amongst Salseros. They performed at some of the most iconic events during the 90's including the prestigious closing ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Olympics - (The Domain Stage - featured in video below).
They were hailed as Australia's premier Latin band by The Sunday Telegraph in 2000. Today they are fondly remembered by many of their fans as one of their favourite Latin bands in the Aussie/Latino music scene.
Three decades later, we salute all those talented musicians that at one stage of their careers were part of this incredible legacy. We have put a very special video compilation featuring the many wonderful and talented musicians who contributed to the band's success.
Today we are continually working behind the scenes to keep this musical legacy alive. Our mission at Salsa Kingz® is "to continue the legacy of our pioneering Latin band Sonora Galaxia. By doing this we hope to inspire musicians everywhere to keep Latin music alive for future generations to enjoy".
If you enjoyed Sonora Galaxia from back in the day, we would love to hear from you. Please drop us a line and/or a favourite photo so we can share your memories of Sonora Galaxia.
Yours in music,
Christian Guerrero
Director
