LA SONORA PONCEÑA was formed in 1954 in Ponce, Puerto Rico by Enrique "Quique" Lucca, who named the band after the famous Cuban band Sonora Matancera, and his home city of Ponce, thus Sonora Ponceña. They are hailed as one of New York's longest running salsa bands. Don Quique created a distinct salsa sound using a full percussion section, with only trumpets in his horn section that in turn harmonized with the piano and vocals.
