Southwest Museum
Highland Park, California
March 16, 1986
On March 16, 1986 Mark and Lalo Guerrero performed at the
Southwest Museum in Highland Park, California. The
Southwest Museum is a major and highly respected museum
which exhibits Native American artifacts. On this
Sunday late afternoon the program my father, Lalo Guerrero
opened with a set of his material, which featured a cross
section of his diverse musical styles from pachuco music, to
boleros, rancheras, comedy, parodies, and more. I
followed with a set of my music, which is also diverse
ranging from rock to country and Chicano rock. As a
finale, my dad and I performed two songs together. I
wrote the music and he the Spanish lyrics to "Receta de Amor"
and I wrotewords and music to "Fernando, El Toro," which my
dad recorded as a 45 rpm single with his "Ole Fernando" on
the flip side in tribute to Dodger pitcher Fernando
Valenzuela. Below are videos of my set in three parts
and the performance with my dad.
