	El Chicano - Biography - AOL Music
		El Chicano's members were not only affected by the Mexican-American experience, they were also well aware of what Cuban and Puerto Rican musicians were doing on the East Coast and in the Caribbean.
		El Chicano's contract with MCA ended in 1976; that year, the band recorded its first post-MCA album, This Is...El Chicano, for the independent Shady Brooke label (where the L.A. residents enjoyed more creative control than they had during their six years at MCA).
		El Chicano didn't do a lot of recording in the '80s or '90s, but the band made a long overdue return to the studio with 1998's Painting the Moment.

	¡Reconquista! The Latin Rock Invasion
		Rock is music for the minds and mouths that have been sealed by social, political, sexual, and economic tyranny.
		This post-Quincentennial rock insurrection is led by a new generation of radical rock alchemists, who are concocting inspiring, transformative music that burns and blows away all fixed social and cultural borders, birthing a post-New World: a global rock culture and community of cool intercultural consciousness, respect, and humanity.
		THE LATIN ROCK INVASION was compiled and produced by Ruben Guevara, who in 1983 founded Zyanya Records with Rhino cofounder Richard Foos, for the specific purpose of releasing CDs that focused on documentating the music of East Los Angeles' Chicano rock community and the contemporary Latino artists emerging from that fertile scene.

	Chicano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The reasons for rejecting the term Chicano are numerous and varied, from an aversion to its association with the militant left-wing politics of the 1960s and 1970s, to the ability of many families, particularly in the state of New Mexico, to trace their ancestry back to the original Spanish settlers of the colonial era.
		Chicanos, regardless of their generational status, tend to connect their culture to the indigenous peoples of North America and to a historically revised mythical nation of Aztlán.
		Chicano punk is a branch of Chicano rock.

		Early in 1965, Cannibal and the Headhunters, a Chicano vocal quartet out of East Los Angeles, took "Land of 1,000 Dances" to No. 30 on the pop charts, shutting down a version by their archrivals Thee Midniters (which reached No. 67) in the process.

		For "Chicano Power" (which was actually for the most part an instrumental), he even formed a new label, La Raza ("The Race"), with a peace sign on the label, and a new publishing company, White Fence Music, named after the East LA gang White Fence.

	People's Weekly World - 1916 – 2005 Lalo Guerrero, trovador chicano — presente!
		Known by all as Lalo, the Chicano trovador (troubadour) extraordinaire sang, composed and played mariachi, swing, bolero, boogie, mambo, cha-cha, rock and norteño music, often in poignant yet comic parodies, from the time of the Great Depression until he passed away March 17 in the Palm Springs suburb of California’s Coachella Valley.
		In 1949, ever the Chicano, he wrote and composed “Los Chucos Suaves” (the cool guys), which was featured in Luis Valdez’s play and movie “Zoot Suit,” about a notorious 1942 racist attack by servicemen on Mexican American youth wearing the distinctive baggy clothing.
		In 1968, as the Chicano movement exploded, and one of the student walkout demands was for Mexican food in the cafeteria, came the song “There’s No Tortillas.” In the 1970s Guerrero’s “El Chicano” projected demands for worker and immigrant rights and bilingual education.

	Slowrider - Free Music Downloads, Videos, Lyrics, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
		Slowrider's clever name is a play on the term "low rider." In Mexican American slang, a low rider (also known as a vato, cholo, or ese) is a Chicano homeboy whose obsessions include cars, women, and classic soul music (although today's younger low riders are just as likely to be major hip-hop fans).
		Slowrider founder/leader Dgomez (who plays electric bass as well as keyboards) is a big admirer of the Chicano rock and soul bands that came along in the '60s and '70s; El Chicano, Santana, Ruben & the Jets, and Tierra are influences.
		Dgomez has also been influenced by rock en español, acid jazz, hip-hop (especially alternative rappers like De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, and the Pharcyde), and ambient.
