Chicano Music Articles

The following is a collection of articles I've written on Chicano Music, some of which have appeared in various newspapers, magazines and websites. The articles give the following information on the artists: a.) background and history b.) accomplishments c.) information on recordings, including what is currently available and where to get it d.) current projects, if any e.) in some cases, what's to come. I also add opinions as well as personal and musical experiences I've had with the artists to make the articles, hopefully, more interesting and unique. Some of the artists have achieved international fame, others a momentary national notoriety or long-lasting regional success. There are also some who enjoyed very little fame or monetary success, but nevertheless created and recorded music worthy of recognition and preservation. Most of the articles are based on interviews I did with the artists. The articles are also occasionally updated. You can see photos of the artists on my "Photo Gallery" page and hear sound bytes of their music at the end of each article.
