"Like SANTANA and EL CHICANO, TIERRA is one of the few groups to maintain their creativity and vitality. GEMA, (from thier debut album-which I still have) was our wedding song, bringing tears to the eyes of the tios and tias. TIERRA, unlike MALO or AZTECA, was fortunate to have hits which made it to the airways, keeping thier influence alive for almost thirty years. Today TIERRA has a strong following. TIERRA also created a local pride with the likes of LOS LOBOS and EL CHICANO. Whether you call it the EAST LOS sound or the CHICANO sound, TIERRA is another example of what CHICANO PRIDE sounds like.// CON SAFOS!"

"This fine collection of Chicano soul is a perfect mix of all the elements that make up Chicano rythm n' soul : Latin rock, Brown eyed soul, salsa, musica mexicana, bolero, funk. If this is your bag and want to get into it deeper, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND "Back To The Barrio" Vol 1 (Rare and hard to find Chicano classics) it has many out of print, unreleased Latin funk, Latin rock and latin soul. The best compilation available in this genre. contact www.chorizomusic2004@yahoo.com"
