About this listen

We take you to the revolutionary East L.A. punk scene of the late 70s, led by Chicano punk rockers who embraced their Latin roots, documented barrio life, and rejected stereotypes in their music; even at the expense of fame and fortune. We explore the story of “La Bamba'' from Mexican music cliché to anarchic punk takeover to global hit through Los Lobos’s little-known punk past. Willie Herrón of the seminal band Los Illegals tells us why punk is an extension of Chicano pachuco and cholo gang culture, and Teresa Covarrubias of The Brat reveals how the band was met with the worst cliches of systemic racism when it found success and signed with a major label. John Doe of X attests to the influence of Chicano punk rockers beyond the barrio.
