VARIOUS – THE RIGHT TO ROCK – THE MEXICANO & CHICANO ROCK ‘N’ ROLL REBELLION 1955 – 1963 – BEAR FAMILY CD

CD (Digipak) with 36-page booklet, 37 tracks. Total playing time approx. 79 min.

A compilation of Mexican and Latin American artists (1955 to 1963), a homage to the cultural components of the Chicano movement of the fifties, today as up-to-date in terms of border walls as it was then!

Musicians from Texas, California and Mexico, evidence of an independent Mexican rock ‘n’ roll culture – the musical roots of Carlos Santana, the Texas Mavericks and Los Lobos!

The focus is on tougher Rock ‘n’ Roll numbers – this is not ‘La Bamba’!

The title song by Trini Lopez, ‘The Right To Rock’ – a symbol of oppression!

Famous Chicano artists such as Ritchie Valens and Freddy Fender take turns with lesser known colleagues like Los Locos Del Ritmo, Los Xochimilcas and Los Gibson Boys.

Colorful 36-page booklet with biographies and discographic information, a detailed introduction to historical, cultural and political backgrounds, and a variety of rare photos and memorabilia.
