As a developing record collector/musicologist one obvious challenge was to explore my culture, as an American of Mexican decent, on the vinyl tip. With all respect I wanted to uncover the wide arena of early 70's west coast Chicano rock that most just accepted began and ended with Santana. It didn't and still doesn't. Ok so Joe Cuba wasn't really west coast but he's still tight. Many of these artist are still active playing shows and making records.
