Sonora (Spanish pronunciation: [so̞ˈno̞ɾa]), officially Free and Sovereign State of Sonora (Spanish: Estado Libre y Soberano de Sonora), is one of the 31 states which, with the Federal District, comprise the 32 Federal Entities of Mexico. It is divided into 72 municipalities; the capital city is Hermosillo. Sonora is located in Northwest Mexico, bordered by the states of Chihuahua to the east, Baja California to the northwest and Sinaloa to the south. To the north, it shares the U.S.–Mexico border with the states of Arizona and New Mexico, and on the west has a significant share of the coastline of the Gulf of California.
Sonora's natural geography is divided into three parts: the Sierra Madre Occidental in the east of the state; plains and rolling hills in the center; and the coast on the Gulf of California. It is primarily arid or semi-arid deserts and grasslands, with only the highest elevations having sufficient rainfall to support other types of vegetation.
Sonora is home to eight indigenous peoples, including the Mayo, the Yaqui and the Seri. It has been economically important for its agriculture, livestock (especially beef) and mining since the colonial period, and for its status as a border state since the Mexican–American War. After the Gadsden Purchase, Sonora lost more than a quarter of its territory. From the 20th century to the present, industry, tourism and agribusiness have dominated the economy, attracting migration from other parts of Mexico.
Sonia López (January 11, 1946—) is a Mexican singer, popular in the 1960s for her tropical hits. Known as "la chamaca de oro", she is best known for hits such as Corazón de Acero, El ladrón, El nido, Canela Pura, De México a La Habana, Mi caprichito, and her work with Sonora Santanera.

SIREN is a film noir about adultery, betrayal, greed, and murder. NED, a dying man, tells the tale in the past tense through voice-over. The story unfolds as Ned, a bank employee, sees pictures of his woman CHARLIE having sexual relations with his boss. KANESWORTH, the private investigator who took the photos, taunts him. In a fit of rage, Ned bludgeons the private eye dead. Ned quickly confronts Charlie, a manipulative femme fatale who uses sex as a bargaining chip. She convinces Ned to disregard her dalliance and persuades him to rob his bank with her instead. They rob the bank and kill his boss in the process. The couple's next step to paradise is to kill off Ned's homely and unsuspecting wife SONORA. Charlie hatches a plan to poison her at the lounge where she sings. After Ned poisons Sonora, Charlie arrives on the scene with the intention of killing Ned and running off with the loot. Ned has similar designs, which is to kill Charlie. Unbeknownst to Ned, Sonora rises from the floor gun in hand. Charlie and Sonora proceed to shoot Ned. Ned's wife and mistress are lovers who planned this outcome all along using Ned as their unwitting accomplice. As Charlie professes her love for Sonora, Sonora kills her. Ned, bleeding badly from his wounds, accepts his fate and tells Sonora the truth; she drank real poison! Sonora does not believe him and saunters away from the scene, victorious! While Ned lights his final cigarette and closes his narration, Sonora walks confidently into the night. However, after a few steps, she drops the bag of money, gasps for air, and collapses. The moonlight shines on her corpse. The bag of money left in the middle of the dark street.

Three People. Three Agendas. One Outcome
This heart's been dragged around
My trust was cheated
I almost gave my soul away
Friends turned to demons
Girlfriends talked of suicide
Who do I believe in?
Wide awake, still dreaming
Reality's deceiving me
To break these chains that hold me here
I must rise and face my fears
Light a fire so I can see
This inner silence won't bury me
It's cold in this heart 'cause it's so real
There's a cold device that pumps this blood
Voices in my head are screaming
Set yourself free
From the enemy and these hollow souls
That are surrounding me
Trapped in a corner
Back up against the wall
I gotta rise before I fall
Passions race through these veins
As cold tear drops fall
Light a fire so I can see
This inner silence won't bury me
It's cold in this heart 'cause it's so real
There's a cold device that pumps this blood
This heart's been dragged around
My trust was cheated
I almost gave my soul away
Friends turned to demons
Girlfriends talked of suicide
Who do I believe in?
Light a fire so I can see
This inner silence won't bury me
It's cold in this heart 'cause it's so real
There's a cold device that pumps this blood
