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.
El Chicano continues to be active with a combination of original and new members and will appear in the PBS pledge break special "Trini Lopez presents the Legends of Latin Rock," along with Thee Midniters, Tierra and Gregg Rolie (of Santana and Journey fame) in the spring of 2009. Details here.
