Old Barrio Guide To Lowrider Music 1950 to 1975

Out Of Stock

Whether you live in the barrio, or way uptown, this book's an essential look at Chicano soul music -- a virtual dictionary on the genre that's often under-sold as low-rider music! Author Ruben Molina provides a fairly comprehensive look at the music here -- and features not only acts that grew out of the LA and Texas scenes of the 50s, 60s, and 70s -- but also mainstream artists who crossed over into these communities at the same time -- further inspiring new styles, and showing that a true love of soul is always color-blind. The book is set up as a dictionary -- with entries listed A to Z -- and it also includes a fair bit of black and white photos and other images, plus key discographical information as well. 184 pages, softcover. (Please note that the corner is slightly creased from shipping.)  © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
