Written by David Reyes and Tom Waldman "Land Of A Thousand Dances" chronicles Chicano Rock & Roll from Southern California. It tells the story beginning with Lalo Guerrero and Chico Sesma, the musical forefathers in East Los Angeles through the Chicano music scene with artists like Ritchie Valens, Thee Midniters, Cannibal & The Headhunters, Lil' Ray, El Chicano, Tierra, Los Lobos and everything in between.
This highly acclaimed and well-written book is loaded with stories, interviews. facts, pictures and a selected discography and is an absolute must into understanding the Eastside Sound and it's musical roots
It is still available through internet retailers and I highly recommend you pick up a copy if you don't already have it..
