Chicano Soul first edition only 2000 Printed
Chicano Soul: Recordings And History Of An American Culture is the first comprehensive, intimate look at the music that was lovingly created by Chicanos from throughout the American Southwest. It's a story about the music and the cultural cauldron that created it. This music of the 1950s and 1960s flourished during a time when Soul music was the "hip thing" and garage bands sprang up throughout the Southwest, from the Westside of San Antonio to the bustling barrios of Los Angeles. These young musicians fused the music of their parents' homeland with the soulful rhythms flowing from Philadelphia, Memphis, New Orleans and Detroit. For the first time, all of the great groups of the Southwest tell their story and reveal what the Chicano has always known – that Soul music runs through our veins. |
