ABOUT THE ARTISTS

TIERRA
Celebrating their 40th anniversary, TIERRA's invigorating blend of R & B, Latin and Pop was the precursor to many Hispanic artists. TIERRA, named "Best Rhythm and Blues Vocal Group" by Billboard Cashbox, Record World, and BRE (Black Radio Exclusive), as the first Hispanic act to have four songs on the national pop charts, and two songs simultaneously in the top 100. Leader of the band, Rudy Salas holds the foundation of the group strong as he leads TIERRA into the new millenium. With their new CD, On the Right Track, this is one band that will not stop!

RICHARD BEAN & SAPO
In the annals of Bay Area music, Malo's "Suavecito" will no doubt go down as the ultimate Latino love song. The San Francisco Latin rock group's 1972 hit featured the voice of Richard Bean, who is still going strong with Sapo, now celebrating 40 years of performing this tune with the band he formed after leaving Malo. Richard Bean has been instrumental in upping the funk quotient in the then novel sound.

PURO BANDIDO
Puro Bandido was instrumental in the development of Border Rock- crossing all borders; having no boundaries. Their sound is a combination of old school and new sounds created by a combination of driving percussion, an incomparable rhythm section and vocals to match.
