Son de Huesos explores musical territories where Mysticism, Witchcraft abound, as well as the quasi-shamanic occultism that permeates the bowels of the abysses. His first EP "Curado de Espanto" was released in Mexico in 2008 and was made in a primitive way trying to capture the sound of the esoteric cumbia of the neighborhoods. The recordings were lost and submerged and forgotten in time until 2015 when the project traveled to give some shows in Europe, in cities like London, France, Belgium and Germany. Over the years the project underwent various evolutions incorporating electric guitars, organs, bass and Latin percussion, releasing 3 singles, ''Dabucurí'', ''Toquesitos'' and ''Productos Esotéricos''. The band has remained active and resumed the recording studios to release their first studio album ''Armonía de las Esferas'', released on September 24, 2021. This album follows the clear line of the first recordings. incorporating soundtracks, fuzz tones and surf music, which led to several live performances in Hamburg, Germany. The visual environment is something characteristic of their live performances based on the dramatic interpretation of magic and sorcery, wearing skeleton shirts and tunics in homage to Santa Muerte, Santísima Muerte or Muerte, which is a popular Mexican figure that personifies the death and is venerated. Rites with Santa Muerte are usually associated with rituals and spells, having a more esoteric component. After going through some evolutions, the band released its studio EP ''Instruments of Horror'' interpreting horror classics from the 60s, released on November 24, 2021. The project follows the rhythm of recording in the studios and announced in their networks that their next album will be released in April 2022. Son de Huesos takes the everyday sounds and cleanses them with rue and copal so that the skeleton shakes off the bad vibrations to that Latin American cumbia rhythm with a unique and somber touch.
