Hector Perez grew up listening to his parents’ traditional Mexican folk music as a child in Los Angeles. Now, the Oakland-based producer and composer is shaking up tradition with his project Sistema Bomb, blending that Son Jarocho music from Veracruz, Mexico with a modern, electronic twist. His collaborations with bands like Ozomatli and Calle 13 even earned him a Grammy nomination. Perez tells us how he produces his unique sounds, and showcases some new tunes.
