Tonga Conga is the production alter ego of Raúl Sotomayor, a percussionist, dj and music producer from Mexico City. Raúl is better known for his band SOTOMAYOR, an electronic duo from the Mexican independent scene, that with 5 years of career, 3 albums, and show all around the world, became one of the most important projects of the so called “New Latin Wave”.

Tonga Conga is a project that began in 2020, as a consequence of the pandemic. During this transformative period, Raul changed from being an artist composing music only for himself, to becoming a music producer, working on other peoples albums. It is trough this profesional exploration that Raul started Tonga Conga, as a collaborative project that explores the sound of the Afro Caribbean rhythms, mixed with electronic music, and each track has a different voice from an artist of the Latin American alternative diaspora.

Tonga Conga is about to release his new album “Enter the Tonga” on July 5.
