This website is dedicated to publicizing and promoting my music, as well as Chicano music in general, which doesn't get its share of attention in the mainstream media. There is a special emphasis on the music and career of my dad, Lalo Guerrero, and the musical artists who emerged from East Los Angeles from the 1960s to the 80s, who were part of what has become known as the "Eastside Sound."

Included on my Chicano Music Articles page are articles I've written about Chicano musical artists. Artists I've spotlighted include Chan Romero, Don Tosti, Flaco Jimenez, El Chicano, Tierra, Los Lobos, Lalo Guerrero, Carmencristina Moreno, Cannibal & the Headhunters, The Premiers, The Blendells, Little Willie G., Trini Lopez, Chris Montez, Freddy Fender, Little Ray, Hirth Martinez, The Romancers, Tango, Los Illegals, Geree, Redbone, Rubn Funkahu¡tl Guevara (Ruben & the Jets), Malo, Ronnie & the Casuals, Yaqui, and Dr. Loco's Rockin' Jalape±o Band. There are sound bytes of the music of the artists at the end of each article and my Photo Gallery page contains photos of the all the artists.

The

Miscellaneous Writings page contains related book and CD reviews, including a book entitled "Land of a Thousand Dances" and a double CD called "The Chicano Alliance, both in which I'm featured. You can also read about a book on the life of my dad, Lalo Guerrero, called "Lalo- My Life and Music." Also liner notes I wrote for Lalo Guerrero's 1999 CD, "Vamos a Bailar Otra Vez!," and liner notes and a bio of my teenage band, Mark & the Escorts, I wrote for the CD released in 2000, "Eastside Sound, Vol. 2, Featuring Mark & the Escorts" on Dionysus Records. Stories and reviews of recent and historic live events are also included on this page.

bio, resum, and discography are available. Click on the link at the bottom of the bio page to access the resum and the link at the bottom of the resum page to access the discography. On the resum page under the heading of "songwriting," you can hear sound bytes of selected covers of my songs by other artists such as Trini Lopez, Chan Romero, Herb Alpert, Lalo Guerrero, and others.
