The hit movie La Bamba (based on the life of Richie Valens), the
versatile singer Linda Ronstadt, and the popular rock group Los
Lobos all have roots in the dynamic music of the Mexican American
community in East Los Angeles. The "Eastside Renaissance" in the
region gave barrio music a symbolic power throughout the Southwest,
yet its story has remained undocumented and virtually untold. In
Barrio Rhythm, Steven Loza brings this hidden history to life,
demonstrating the music's essential role in the cultural
development of East Los Angeles and its influence on mainstream
popular culture. Drawing from oral histories and other primary
sources, as well as from appropriate representative songs, Loza
provides a historical overview of the music from the nineteenth
century to the present and offers in-depth profiles of nine Mexican
American artists, groups, and entrepreneurs in Southern California
from the post-World War II era to the present. His interviews with
many of today's most influential barrio musicians, including
members of Los Lobos, chronicle the cultural forces active in this
complex urban community.
