While the Eastside Sound was taking shape during the mid to late 1960's with artists like Thee Midniters, Cannibal & The Headhunters, Salas Brothers & Little Ray, a new sound was being born in Northern California, specifically in San Francisco's Mission District Barrio.
In the heat of this politically charged, psychedelic era, this barrio became a veritable incubator for a new breed of bands that fused burning acid guitar to a base of boiling Latin percussion. This sound came to be known as Latin Rock (Chicano Rock)
Author Jim McCarthy takes an in-depth look at the roots and rise of this explosive music. Artists, Santana, Malo, Azteca, Dakila and Sapo are among tthe artist profiles. The book features exclusive interviews and over 800 photographs.
I highly recommend you picking up a copy of this book if you are into any of these artists or a fan of Latin Rock.
