Quetzal ♪ Estoy Aquí
“…a call to self-determination for Mexicanos in both Mexico and the U.S.”
Inspired by traditional son arocho music of Veracruz, Mexico, and spiked with urban rhythms, rock and R&B, East LA Chicano group Quetzal will release ‘Imaginaries’, its 5th album and 1st for Smithsonian Folkways, on Feb. 28, 2012. Quetzal, called “provocative, heartfelt and strikingly original” by the LA Times and founded by guitarist Quetzal Flores, rose from the ashes of uprisings in LA in 1992 as a vehicle for social commentary and activism.
More information on the album release can be found at Smithsonian Folkways
