Description:
Ersi Arvizu is best known as the lead singer of `70s East LA group El Chicano. Ry Cooder first tracked Arvisu down in 2002 as he put together Chavez Ravine. After year of effort Cooder finally cajoling her into making a solo album. The San Diego Union-Tribune said, "Mostly autobiographic, these 12 tracks are Arvizu`s first solo effort, not to mention her first songwriting credits. She has a voice that can be as hard as a revolutionary, or as gentle and sexy as a kitten. She has lived the life she sings about." -- Anti-
