DVD Synopsis
This documentary chronicles the story of how young people in the Mexican American community of Los Angeles created their own hybrid cultural niche in the 1950's, complete with a unique form of music - Chicano rock. Pioneered by artists like Lalo Guerrero, the sound had a tremendous influence on the development of rock and roll, with influences that can still be heard today. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
