- Narrated by Edward James Olmos, this landmark film chronicles more than 60 years of Americas largest Mexican-American community as generations of artists and audiences defined themselves with music. It began in the 1940s, with the Father of Chicano Music, Lalo Guerrero and continued with the brilliant but tragic career of Ritchie Valens in the 1950s. During the 1960s, bands such as El Chicano and Tierra produced national hits and reflected a new militancy. Also included is the amazing and inspiring story of Cannibal and the Headhunters, kids from local housing projects whose best-selling recording of Land of a Thousand Dances led to a tour with the Beatles in 1965, and Thee Midniters, whose song Whittier Blvd. captured the spirit of Chicano car culture and an East L.A. cultural renaissance. During the 70s and 80s, Chicano punk bands such as The Brat gave a voice to women and it all came together in the 80s and 90s with perhaps the greatest East L.A. band, Los Lobos , and continues today with the multicultural music of Ozomatli and Quetzal.
It is about time!!
Not just for Chicanos, but for these musicians who worked very hard to play the music they felt. To be accepted across the board. The time has come!
I grew in San Gabriel & Palm Springs.
Thee Midnighters played at the presentations my brother was in and the San Gabriel Mission's Fiesta!!
I remember dancing to them!!!
El Chicano lived very close to us when we lived in San Gabriel. My mom said she could see them rehearsing above a garage somewhere in S San G.
And of course, Don Tosti. His time is OVERDUE!!
He was not only my vocal teacher, but he knew my mom, before I was born. He would send her gifts from places he performed at, back in the late 50's, early 60's. He also wrote a song for her (Lolita).
I was so happy to see Lalo Guererro at the end. I understand what he meant when he tried to convey how he felt that he was NOW an American.
What an awesome documentary!
I just finished watching it up here in Seattle.
I missed the first 10 mins DARN IT!!!
But every moment I was watching my heart was skipping a beat!!!
