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."
