HEAR THE SOUNDS: EL CHICANO

EL CHICANO


Below are 2 tracks I recorded to share. Enjoy

One of the scoop and most successful bands to issue from the musically fertile soil of East Los Angeles is El Chicano. Originally formed as the V.I.P.s in the late 60's, the group recorded a rendering of a call by jazz composer Gerald Wilson, "Viva Tirado," an homage to a Mexican bullfighter by the list of Jose Ramon Tirado.
