Episode 3: The Chicano Wave

October 19, 2009 • 55 min

In the third episode, Mexican Americans in California, Texas, and throughout the Southwest form their own distinctive sounds during the second half of the 20th century. Their music would play an important role in the fight for Chicano civil rights, and in turn launch them from the barrio onto the national stage.
