Radio
Mark Guerrero's "Chicano
Music Chronicles"- My own internet radio show which started in
December 2005 and ran for over a year on
www.crnlive.com. The shows ran one to two hours and featured
the music of the legends and pioneers of Chicano music. My first show
spotlights the music of my dad, the late great "Father of Chicano Music,"
Lalo Guerrero. I play twelve of my favorite Lalo recordings and talk
about the songs and give background information. Most of the shows
include interviews with the artists themselves. Shows I've done with
in studio guests include Trini Lopez, Chan Romero, El Chicano, Tierra,
Little Ray Jimenez, Geree, and Little Willie G. I've also done a show
on my own music. My 10th show features the classic recordings of the
Eastside Sound of the 60s. It includes interviews with members of
Cannibal & the Headhunters, the Premiers, the Blendells, the Romancers, the
Salas Brothers, and the Sisters. My 11th show features the great music
of singer/songwriter Hirth Martinez, with Hirth in studio. The 12th
show features the music of 80s Chicano punk band, Los
Illegals,
with leader and founder, Willie Herrón, bassist Jesus "Xuiy" Velo, and
drummer Bill Reyes. All twelve shows are archived on my website on the
"Chicano Music Chronicles" page.

CDs
Chávez Ravine by Ry Cooder-
magnificent new CD by the legendary guitarist/producer on the Nonesuch/Perro
Verde record label, which contains songs and/or vocal performances by Ry
Cooder, Lalo Guerrero, Little Willie G. (of Thee Midniters fame), Ersi
Arvisu (of The Sisters & El Chicano fame), Rudy Salas (of Tierra fame),
David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, and Don Tosti, among others. The CD's
theme involves the destruction of the barrio of Chavez Ravine to build
Dodger Stadium in the early 60s. The songs are in English, Spanish,
and some are bi-lingual. Pachuco slang, or Caló, is also used
throughout. Hopefully this CD will do for Chicano music what Cooder's
"Buena Vista Social Club" did for Cuban music and some of it's pioneers.
Chávez Ravine is now available in stores.
Lalo Guerrero Comedy CD-
a Lalo Guerrero parody CD called "The Funny Side of Lalo Guerrero" has just
been released nationally on the Brown Bag Records label. It's
available here on my website. It has twelve classic Lalo Guerrero

Girls I've Loved Before," "You're Impossible," "Lucila," and "Mr. Jackson."

truly.
