El Chicano

El Chicano is a Latin R&B/brown-eyed soul band from Los Angeles, California, whose influences can be found in rock, funk, soul, blues, jazz, and salsa. Original members included Bobby Espinosa, Freddie Sanchez, Mickey Lespron, Andre Baeza, and John De Luna. During the 1970s, new members Ersi Arvizu, Hector "Rudy" Regalado, Max Garduno, Danny Lamonte, Brian Magness, Joe Pereria, and Jerry and Rudy Salas joined. Their best-known songs include the jazzy "Viva Tirado", the funky "Tell Her She's Lovely" and their cover version of Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl".Their name means 'the Chicano,' a sometimes controversial word which stands for Mexican-American.
