Juxtaposing ’60s and ’70s news snippets, band interviews, and concert footage, director Daniel E. Meza brilliantly relates how racism and the La Raza movement forged Latin rock. In the case of El Chicano, the cultural strife inspired music of great joy. “We were in the thick of it,” says bassist Fred Sanchez, “because [Chicano-power organizers] were the people who hired El Chicano. But we contributed by putting positive stuff out there music and happiness.”This is a bold story beautifully and sometimes painfully". ~ Inakustik
Originally deemed The VIPs, El Chicano's rise to success inadvertently made them part of the Mexican-American movement in the United States, most notably southern California and southern Texas. Historically, the term "el Chicano" was a derogatory word derived from the Spanish word "Mejicano," or Mexican. After several years of struggle, it was later adopted by Mexican-Americans as a sort of badge of honor regarding their fight for equality in white America. As unique as it was at the time, the band's producer secretly released their first song, "Viva Tirado," under the name El Chicano instead of The VIPs, the latter name lacking the type of political significance of El Chicano. After the song became an overnight hit, the name stuck and El Chicano was born.
It goes without saying that, if you're an El Chicano follower, you cannot pass up this two-DVD set. The documentary includes historical footage of social issues at the time, intertwined with the history of El Chicano. Between interviews with the band members and historical footage are intermission-like clips from the Avalon concert, giving the audience a balance of visual and audio pleasure. The great thing about this is that it keeps the documentary from becoming too focused on the seriousness of the time, much like one would imagine their music did for many Mexican-Americans fighting for equality. While the band was never as famous nationally as other bands of the time, their hits were equally as popular in Mexican-American areas of the United States. In these parts of the country, "Tell Her She's Lovely" was equally as popular as Santana's "Oye Como Va." With the band performing with such groups as Marvin Gay and The Jackson 5, the documentary touches on the high points of their career, as well as what thy
believe to be some of their bigger, and career-altering mistakes.
The great thing about the documentary is that the mix of social history, band history and concert footage keeps the audience moving and interested. The footage gives the audience a point of reference as to the importance of the band during this time, and a panoramic view of what was going on. The initial DVD also consists of almost an hour of bonus material, including interviews, performances and rehearsals from the band's 2008 reunion concert. The second DVD includes the entire reunion concert entitled Live at the Avalon – The Concert Santa Clara, California May 2008 including a faster, more subdued version of The Beatles' hit "Eleanor Rigby," what you might actually call a sexier and loose, Latin jazz version.
