This documentary tells the story of generations of young Mexican-Americans who proudly expressed their identity through music. The program is filled with intimate first-person storytelling, rare film and photos, and exuberant music from artists such as Lalo Guerrero, the legendary Ritchie Valens, and classic bands such as Cannibal and the Headhunters, Thee Midniters of "Whittier Blvd." fame, El Chicano, Tierra and Los Lobos.
Narrated by Edward James Olmos, in watching this film you would almost swear you were walking the streets of Whittier Boulevard back in the day. Chicano Rock! is still available & highly recommend you get a copy and see for yourself.
