Quetzal: In Concert April 25, 2009

In the early nineties in a tiny cafe on the outskirts of Little Tokyo Los Angeles, Quetzal Flores, a son of two community organizers, formed Quetzal in order to push the boundaries of Chicano Music. Twelve years later Quetzal has become of one Los Angeles most important and successful groups. Proclaimed by Los Lobos as ready to carry the torch for Los Angeles' Chicano community, Quetzal embody the soul and the struggle at the heart of the Mexican-American legacy. Their mix of Mexican and Afro-Cuban rhythms, Jazz, R&B, and Rock is supercharged by dynamic vocals from Martha Gonzalez as well as the group’s commitment to using art as a tool for social change.
