This website is dedicated to publicizing and promoting
my music, as well as Chicano music in general, which
doesn't get its share of attention in the mainstream
media. In addition to information on me and my music,
there is a special emphasis on the music
and career of my dad, the late Lalo Guerrero, and the musical
artists who emerged from East Los Angeles from the 1960s
to the 80s, who were part of what has become known as
the "Eastside Sound."
